The President of the Europe Now Movement (PES) Councilors' Club in the Capital City Assembly, Anđela Mićović, said that a document related to the appointment of opposition European Alliance councilor Miloš Mašković as Vice President of the Capital City Assembly had arrived at the Assembly in the form of an initiative, explaining that according to the Assembly's Rules of Procedure, only the President of the Assembly has the ability to propose a candidate for Vice President of the Assembly, that is, to make a proposal.
She told reporters after today's meeting between the President of the Capital City Assembly, Jelena Borovinić Bojović, and the heads of the parliamentary clubs of the parties that make up the majority in Podgorica that the European Union's proposal is absolutely unacceptable for the existing majority.
At that meeting, a message was sent that the initiative to elect Mašković as Vice President of the Capital City Assembly was not acceptable to the ruling majority in Podgorica.
After that meeting, Podgorica Mayor Saša Mujović said that the current opposition in Podgorica will never work for the good of the government or the good of the citizens.

Responding to a journalist's question about whether Borovinić Bojović will remain in office until the end of her term or whether they expect her to resign or move to the Government, Mićović said that she could not answer such a question.
"The session will be scheduled under urgent procedure within 15 days, sometime by May 27th," said Mićović, stating that only after that date can the topic be discussed.
Democratic Montenegro councilor Mitar Paunović told reporters that the opposition, which claims to have 30 councilors in the Assembly, took a month to collect 20 signatures for the initiative to dismiss Borovinić Bojović.
"The fact that they do not have that majority is also proven by the fact that they proposed Mašković for the post of deputy speaker of the Assembly, and that they did not decide to dismiss Borovinić Bojović, and instead elect Mašković as the speaker of the Assembly and take over the functioning and management of Podgorica," said Paunović.
He stressed that the opposition will not take over the governance of Podgorica and will not elect Mašković as assistant to Borovinić Bojović, whom they want to remove, nor as President of the Assembly, and that the current majority and the mayor will continue to manage processes in the city until the 2027 elections.
Responding to the question of whether there was any talk of re-establishing cooperation with the Democratic People's Party (DNP), he said that DNP councilors have the right to decide how to proceed with all initiatives.
"I am glad that they did not sign the initiative to dismiss Borovinić Bojović or the initiative for Mašković," said Paunović.
He pointed out that the opposition wrote a document (dismissal of Borovinić Bojović) in which it did not refer to a legal basis, because there is no such legal basis.
"This shows that the opposition does not know elementary procedures," said Paunović.
New Serbian Democracy (NSD) councilor Jelena Milošević told reporters after the meeting that the initiative for Mašković is unacceptable to anyone.
"Colleagues from the Movement for Podgorica agree with us. They are justifiably absent today, but we all agreed that this initiative is absurd. The opposition wants to appoint Mašković to the position of deputy Borovinić Bojović, whom they actually want to remove. We see another failed initiative, like everything we have seen so far," said Milošević.
The Party of European Progress (SEP) submitted an initiative today for the head of the European Union councilors' club in the Capital City Assembly, Miloš Mašković, to be the vice president of the city parliament, Televizija Vijesti has learned unofficially.
According to the same information, SEP also submitted an initiative for the removal of the President of the Capital City Assembly, Jelena Borovinić Bojović.
The City Assembly has not had a vice president since October 7th last year, when Movement for Podgorica councilor Dragutin Vučinić resigned from that position.
"Vijesti", citing multiple sources, recently announced that Borovinić Bojović could become the Deputy Prime Minister in charge of health.
