The State Election Commission (SEC) rejected the objection of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as untimely.
The SDP filed an objection regarding the repetition of elections at one polling station in Kolašin, for which Vladimir Leposavić (holder of the Pravda za sve list) withdrew a constitutional appeal.
The SDP will appeal to the Constitutional Court against the decision of the SEC, thereby further delaying the deadlines for announcing the final election results.
"Vijesti" has learned that the final results of the parliamentary elections held on June 11 will most likely not be announced tomorrow (Wednesday, July 12), "Vijesti" has learned.

Commission member Vera Mijatović said that, according to her legal opinion, the complaint was not timely and that the deadline for submission expired on June 28.
Commission member Damir Suljević said that the complaint should be rejected, because they already have a decision on the same situation in the case of Leposavić, and not because of lack of timeliness.
The representative of the SDP in the extended composition of the commission, Bojan Vujović, said that the complaint was well-founded and timely.
The authorized representative of the Europe Now Movement (PES) Janko Odović said that he supports the position expressed by Mijatović.
He said that with this they want to "revive the dead appeals of Leposavić that he himself withdrew".
The SEC rejected Žarko Dragićević's complaint as inadmissible.
On July 10, Dragićević filed a complaint with the SEC in the procedure of withdrawing the objection to the appeal of the owner of the newspaper "Pravda za sve" Vladimir Leposavić, stating that the complaint was filed by this party because of abuses in the election process, and that the SEC is obliged to determine the validity of these findings. Otherwise, according to Dragićević, the SEC is being put in the position of an accomplice in concealing irregularities at reported contested polling stations.
Leposavić withdrew the objection to the omission sent to the SEC due to irregularities registered by their members at several polling stations in Podgorica, as well as the remaining appeals previously sent to the Constitutional Court due to irregularities at polling stations in Bar, Budva and Nikšić, in order to prevent the Social Democratic Party from achieve parliamentary status.
The President of the SEC, Nikola Mugoša, said earlier that the final results will most likely be announced tomorrow 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 pm today.
Mugoša previously told "Vijesta" that the Constitutional Court informed the SEC that the complainant in front of the Pravda za sve election list, Vladimir Leposavić, withdrew the appeals that were filed against the decision of the SEC, regarding the request to repeat voting at polling stations in Budva. Bar, Nikšić and Kolašin.
Leposavic confirmed yesterday that due to the possibility of the SDP achieving parliamentary status in the repeated elections, he decided to withdraw all appeals that they submitted to the Constitutional Court.
In the announcement, he stated that he withdrew the appeal submitted to the Constitutional Court due to the failure of the Kolašin Municipal Election Commission to make a decision on the re-election at polling station no. 1.
