The initiative to dismiss the President of the Parliament of Montenegro Andrija Mandić did not receive the support of the majority of deputies.

At today's session, 27 MPs voted for the dismissal of Mandić, and 44 voted against it.

72 MPs voted, and one ballot was invalid.

Voting was secret.

The initiative for the dismissal of Mandić was submitted by the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), with the explanation that he is not worthy to hold that office.

The president of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) and deputy of that party, Danijel Živković, said at the end of the session that he had found a video where it was mentioned that the deputy of the Coalition for the Future of Montenegro (ZBCG) and the leader of the Democratic People's Party (DNP) Milan Knežević said that he would attack on Tuza in 1998 that he had a weapon.

He played a video in which the former president of DPS Milo Đukanović mentions "ominous calls from a meeting in front of the Government to go to Tuzi and calls to go to the barracks to look for weapons" where Knežević throws in "I asked".

Knežević said that after the police "together with the criminals" started chasing them, they went to the army barracks to look for weapons to defend themselves and no one mentioned Tuzi.
