The opposition will have to wait until 2027, and the new city administration will lead Kotor to the satisfaction of all citizens, said the Mayor of the Municipality, Vladimir Jokić.
He reacted to the findings of the Ministry of Public Administration, which assessed that the Kotor Municipal Assembly should make a decision to shorten its mandate. In the findings of administrative supervision over the implementation of Article 56 of the Law on Local Self-Government, that department indicated that the Municipality of Kotor was obliged to elect the president of the local self-government no later than 30 days from the constitution of the newly elected Municipal Assembly.
"Today, it has become clear to the public what we already announced last Friday, that officials from the Ministry of Public Administration (MPA) and the Kotor DPS have been cooperating to interpret laws for the account and in the interest of the DPS. It is not surprising that this interpretation is contrary to the positions of the Administrative Court, the Supreme Court of Montenegro and the European Court of Human Rights," Jokić announced.
He reminds that the Kotor Municipal Assembly decided on the initiative and rejected the initiative to shorten the mandate by a ratio of 19:12. This, he says, fulfilled the order of the Ministry of Public Administration and "this matter was put ad acta".
"As I announced, we will seek additional confirmation of these positions before the competent courts and authorities," he said.
