Leader and councilor of the Preokret Movement, Srđan Perić, has accepted the candidacy for President of the Capital City Assembly.

This was published on the website of the Podgorica parliament, in the materials for tomorrow's session.

"At the proposal of the Preokret Movement, in accordance with the publicly presented model for preserving the functionality of Podgorica and preventing the introduction of compulsory administration, and based on the collected signatures of voters for this proposal, the conditions have been met to elect Srđan Perić, who was elected as a councilor to the Capital City Assembly from the list 'Preokret – This Can't Go On Anymore – Srđan Perić', as the President of the Capital City Assembly, in accordance with the law," the proposal for the election of the President of the Assembly states.

The proposal was signed by 20 councilors, including members of the Preokret Movement, the European Union (EU), and the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS).

"The provision of Article 65 of the Statute of the Main Guard - Podgorica stipulates that the President of the Assembly is elected by the Assembly, from among the councilors, upon the proposal of one third of the councilors, by a majority vote of the total number of councilors (in the current assembly, which has 59 councilors, one third is 20)," the document states.

After the former President of the Capital City Assembly, Jelena Borovinić Bojović, submitted her resignation, Perić announced his candidacy.

Support for this proposal was announced by the Preokret Movement, DPS, ES, the Party of European Progress, as well as the councilor of the Movement for Podgorica, Dragutin Vučinić.
