The Capital City Assembly will finally hold a session on Thursday, June 18, during which it will decide on the appointment of Preokret councilor Srđan Perić to the position of president of the local parliament.
This was confirmed to "Vijesti" after meetings of the heads of councilor clubs.
As journalists were told, apart from the appointment of Perić, they will not discuss any other topics. The session, they said, will be held from 12 noon.
The parties within the ruling majority held several meetings during which they tried to agree on a candidate for the speaker of the city parliament. They were unable to reach an agreement on the issue even on June 10th.
"Vijesti" was unofficially told that the next session will have to be scheduled as soon as possible, in order to discuss important issues for the very functioning of the city.
The head of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) councilors' club, Andrija Klikovac, said that the compulsory administration is harmful to Podgorica. He said that the Europe Now Movement, the Democrats and the NSD did not attend the meeting, and that their absence shows "that they wanted to implement the compulsory administration plan."
He invited them to come to the session and support that model so that Podgorica would not find itself in crisis.
"I understand that there are justified reasons. I believe that the opposition will support the model of the Upheaval Movement," said Klikovac.
He said that he would not bid on who would vote how and stressed that there was no need to prejudge on behalf of any political party.
Klikovac said that yesterday and the day before yesterday we had the opportunity to see the contamination of the political scene.
The head of the DPS councilors' club said he had no information on how many signatories there were for Srđan Perić's candidacy.
Movement for Podgorica councilor Miloš Krstović said that the collegium had been busy with technical matters and that the session was on Thursday. He said that the PzPG would make a statement on Perić's candidacy during the session, and that the public would then receive answers.
Preokret councilor Srđan Perić said that SEP had made a public statement, but that the Civic Movement URA had not. He said that there would be 20 signatures, "as many as are formally required."
"I will formally submit my candidacy to the relevant parliamentary service tomorrow and the day after tomorrow," he added.
Perić stressed that the model was presented without conditions. He said that "they have another statement of support."
Responding to a question from a "Vijesti" journalist whether he sees the appearance of PzPG representatives at the meeting of councilor club heads as "indirect support for his candidacy", Perić said that he sees it as a responsible attitude and relationship.
He said he had no feedback on how that club would vote.
The meeting was attended by the head of the Democratic People's Party (DNP), Vladimir Bulatović, who did not want to make statements to the media.
Borovinić Bojović resigned as President of the Capital City Assembly on May 26th.
The Podgorica parliament has not been in session since April 16th.
