If it is determined that the member of the Council of Radio Television Podgorica (Gradska TV) Aleksandar Đurišić is in a business relationship with another media company, his dismissal will be initiated, it was announced at the session of the Selection and Appointment Committee of the Capital City Assembly.

At the very beginning, Mitar Šušić reminded the councilors of "one of the members of the Council of Gradska TV who is the legal representative of another media company", alluding to Aleksandar Đurišić, a representative of the Bar Association.

Šušić said that the provision should be interpreted to prohibit "certain categories of persons from being members of the Council of RTV Podgorica", adding that "that member of the Council of RTV Podgorica cannot be in it, if he represents another media house".

"Such a person could not be a member of the Council of Gradska TV, and we invited this committee to initiate procedures within its competence..." he said.

The President of the Selection and Appointment Committee, Vasilije Čarapić, said that the Assembly of the Capital City will dismiss Đurišić, if the councilor's claims turn out to be true.

"The service of the Assembly sent a letter to the courts in order to obtain confirmation, all with the aim of starting the procedure for the dismissal of a member of the council of RTV Podgorica," Čarapić said.

At the session, it was said that Tatjana Novović resigned for personal reasons.

Councilor Budimir Mugoša said that Novović's resignation is not good.

"In the opening debate, we had the issue of the legality of another member of the Council, which is also not good. If it explicitly says that a lawyer cannot be a member of the Council, I am in favor of him being dismissed," said Mugoša.

At today's session, the board decided to issue a public call, based on which the University of Montenegro (UCG) has 30 days to propose a new member.
