European Union: Komnenović's goal is to place Tivat under compulsory administration

The goal of the President of the Municipality of Tivat Željko Komnenović and the People Wins (NP) group is to place Tivat under compulsory administration, which would allow him unlimited power and management of the city without control in the pre-election year, the European Union of Tivat announced today.

This was announced by the political alliance after the Main Board of the civic list Narod pobjeđuje (NP), which is the backbone of the local government in Tivat, made a decision last night that NP councilors will no longer participate in the work of the Tivat Municipal Assembly (MA) sessions while it is headed by the current president of the local parliament, Miljan Marković (New Serbian Democracy - NSD).

"Our city went to bed last night with information worthy of being displayed in Robert Ripley's famous museums 'Believe it or not'. The citizens of Montenegro can rightly say that they have seen and heard everything in Montenegrin politics, but for the leading party in power to make a decision to no longer participate in the work of the Municipal Assembly, or to boycott sessions, as Đorđe Balašević would say 'Well, that hasn't happened yet...' However, let no one pretend to be crazy and ignorant - the goal of Željko Komnenović and the People Wins group is, as the mayor of Podgorica, Saša Mujović, is trying to do, to introduce the city into compulsory administration, which would allow him unlimited power and management of the city without control in the pre-election year, all with the cooperation of the Government of Milojko Spajić. It is clear as day, but it is not clear with what legitimacy and credibility they plan to ask for the votes of the citizens after they have brought the city into compulsory administration twice and temporary financing twice in five years of rule. The effect for "'respect' indeed," the European Union Tivat statement said.

They added that there was no need to even mention the rest at this point.

"However, let's remember the famous statement of the Mayor from a little over half a year ago when, in response to the European Union's statement that the city government was in chaos and not functioning, he said that 'the data and parameters say otherwise'. Or when he said that our colleague Lisičić 'is creating an atmosphere of alleged instability, chaos and dishonest work'. We can also recall the statement from April this year that they 'continue to work and build a better Tivat for all our citizens'. Around that time, they also started to fight in the Municipality building, and that is a 'parameter' that says absolutely everything about them. Whether they are in the 'team' of the Mayor Komnenović or the 'team' of the President of the Municipal Assembly Marković," the European Union said.

They said that "out of all the big words and attempts at tragicomic answers, the dressing up of reality and the spoofing of a parallel universe, which mostly insult the intelligence of citizens, in the end, quite expectedly - the escapees."

"The carpet can no longer withstand everything that was shoveled under it, and there is nothing left but to escape from the Municipal Assembly and bring in forced administration. Whatever they do, the end is at hand. And they themselves blew the whistle. Let's go back to Đorđe Balašević's verse from the beginning of the text. It ends 'the fools are pleased, and the rest are ashamed'," said the Tivat European Union.
