Zenović: DPS and ES are preparing to dismiss Jovanović

The leader of the "Movement for the City" and a councilor of that group of citizens in the Budva parliament, Đorđe Zenović, claims that the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) and the European Union (EU) are preparing an initiative to remove Nikola Jovanović from the position of mayor of Budva.

"I am pleased to hear that DPS and ES are seriously considering preparing an initiative to dismiss the president and vice-president of the Municipality of Budva, and it seems that the last straw is the Municipality's open cooperation with the SNS company and the 24 million euro deal. The initiative will certainly go down better than the one at the state level, and each councilor group can find its own reasons why to support it. We don't have to delve into ideological reasons and historical dilemmas, we are fed up with the present and the fiasco of the 'platform for saving Budva'," Zenović wrote on social media.

Let us recall that Jovanović was elected Mayor of the Municipality in February 2025 with the votes of his political group "Budva our city", which has nine councilors, as well as with the votes of two councilors of the ES, one from the GP URA and seven from the DPS.

Meanwhile, the URA left the informal ruling coalition, accusing Jovanović of mismanaging the city.

It is unlikely that the DPS, which returned to power in Budva after nine years, despite the fact that Jovanović's platform was not implemented, will resort to a radical move and initiate the removal of the first man of Budva. The European Union is loyal to Jovanović.
