Various abuses, pressures, party trades and attempts to alienate and destroy voting materials during vote counting did not help the creators of electoral engineering to succeed in their goal, the Europe Now Movement (PES) announced.

"Namely, the citizens of Cetinje who today had the right to vote at the polling station of the Lovcen Partisan Squad II were the target of several days of usurpation and harassment in the service of the mission to make the democratic legacy of free elections meaningless," the announcement states.

PES pointed out that this is proof that the appeals demanding the re-organization of elections at certain polling stations are actually a motive to introduce a party that did not achieve parliamentary status on June 11 at any cost and with the abuse of state and local resources.

"Unfortunately, technical errors that absolutely cannot affect the final results are used as a reason to delay the announcement of the final results, to prolong the current agony, and ultimately to harm PES, which we have not witnessed for the first time," the statement reads. PES.

They said that the citizens of Montenegro have the opportunity to conclude already now how well-founded the indication of the PES was that electoral engineering will be carried out in Cetinje, and that an attempt is underway to do the same at a polling station in Kolašin.

"We thank the citizens of Prijestonica who resisted all pressures and thus preserved the dignity that we did not even suspect," the announcement concludes.

In today's repeated voting at the polling station Lovcen Partisan Division II in Cetinje, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) received 375 votes, the Center for Democratic Transition (CDT) announced on its Twitter account.

CDT announced that out of 672 registered voters, 454 voted, and that five ballots were declared invalid.

Voting at the polling station Lovcen Partisan Detachment II was repeated after the Constitutional Court accepted the SDP's appeal against the decision of the State Election Commission and ordered the Election Commission of Prijestonia to repeat the parliamentary elections at that polling station.

The SDP filed a complaint because, as they said, the number of control slips did not match the number of voters who were identified in the extract from the voter list as having voted.

In the parliamentary elections on June 11, at this polling station, the Zajedno coalition led by the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) won 125 votes, the SDP 122, and the Europe Movement now 49 votes.
