President of the State Election Commission (SEC) Nikola Mugoša will convene a session tomorrow at which the final results of the parliamentary elections will be determined, if there are no objections or appeals to the election procedure at the polling station in Cetinje, where the elections were repeated last Saturday, by 15 p.m.
Mugoša told "Vijesta" that the Constitutional Court informed the SEC that the complainant was in front of the electoral list Pravda za sve, Vladimir Leposavic withdrew the appeals filed against the decision of the SEC, concerning the request for repeat voting at polling stations in Budva, Bar, Nikšić and Kolašin.
He said that the deadline for submitting objections to the Election Commission of the Capital City on the election procedure at the polling station where the elections were repeated is until Tuesday at 20 p.m.
"The Election Commission of the Capital and other municipal election commissions whose decisions have been objected to are obliged to determine the final results of the elections on the territory of their municipality within 12 hours from the finality of the decision. After that, the deadline of 12 hours for the SEC to determine the final results begins," said Mugoša.
He emphasized that, if there are no objections or appeals by Wednesday at 15 p.m., he will call a session of the Commission at which the final results of the election will be determined.

According to unofficial information from "Vijesti", the Social Democratic Party, upon whose appeal the vote in Cetinje was repeated, will not lodge an objection with the SEC.
The constitutive session of the new convocation of the parliament must be held within fifteen days from the publication of the decision on the announcement of the final election results.
After the formation of the new convocation of the parliament, the president of the state Jakov Milatovic he has one month to give a mandate for the composition of the Government, and the mandate holder then has three months to form the cabinet based on the results of the parliamentary elections on June 11. Leposavic announced yesterday that he withdrew the objection to the omission sent to the SEC due to the irregularities they registered at several polling stations in Podgorica, and all submitted constitutional appeals on the results of the parliamentary elections.
This was confirmed by "Vijesti" yesterday and from the Constitutional Court.
In a statement, Leposavic stated that he withdrew the appeal submitted to the Constitutional Court on Sunday due to the failure of the Kolašin Municipal Election Commission to issue a decision on the re-election at polling station number 1, and yesterday the Objection to the SEC and the remaining appeals previously sent to the Constitutional Court due to irregularities in the polling stations in Bar, Budva and Nikšić.
"We will not submit other appeals to the Constitutional Court," announced Leposavic.
He said that the Movement, which he led, did not intend to prolong the announcement of the final results of the election more than was necessary to do justice to its voters, but that the information they possessed clearly indicated that the Social Democratic Party (SDP), with its political helpers, intended to abuse election procedures in this way as well.
The SDP failed to get the required number of votes in the repeated elections at the polling station "Hunting Partisan Detachment II" in Cetinje. According to the results published by the Center for Democratic Transition, SDP was supported by 375 voters at that polling station, and they lacked about sixty votes to enter the parliament. They cannot achieve this, given that the vote in Kolašin will not be repeated, because Leposavic withdrew the constitutional appeal by which he requested the re-holding of the election at one polling station. Leposavić's complaint is similar to the one adopted by the Constitutional Court regarding the polling station in Cetinje, where the vote was annulled due to a discrepancy between the number of coupons and voters.

Voting at the "Lovcen Partisan Detachment II" polling station was repeated after the Constitutional Court accepted the SDP's appeal against the decision of the State Election Commission.
Based on the election calendar, the SEC planned to announce the final results on June 26, but appeals postponed it.
In the parliamentary elections, the Europe Now movement won 24 mandates, the Zajedno coalition, gathered around the Democratic Party of Socialists, won 21 mandates, the Future of Montenegro coalition won 13 mandates, the Democrats and Civic Movement URA coalition won 11 mandates, and the Bosniak Party won six mandates.
The coalition of the Socialist People's Party and Demos will have two parliamentary seats, as well as the Albanian Forum. The Albanian Alliance and the Croatian Civic Initiative each received one.
SDP remained without parliamentary status.
Below the census are also Pravda za sve, Movement for Changes, Movement Upturn, People's Coalition Složno, and the list Mi mokome.
Leposavić: We will not let them abuse the fight for the rule of law
"The results of repeated elections at one polling station in Cetinje showed that my recent assessment that the political system has fallen apart, and that the legal system is on the verge of collapse, is unfortunately correct. Namely, the SDP, otherwise the party of the past, increased the number of votes in one polling station by over 200 percent in just a few weeks - winning over 80 percent of the votes, which is characteristic of only the most rigid one-party systems," said Leposavić.
He said that this fact alone, even if there were no other irregularities, is enough for the special state prosecutor to suspect that multiple criminal acts were committed in this case.
"Since the aforementioned party would certainly achieve parliamentary status in the next repeat elections, which were initiated by the People's Movement for Justice for All, with such actions, we decided to change our strategy as soon as possible and not allow our fight for the rule of law and equality of all before the law to be misused." for completely opposite political goals," said Leposavic.
