The President of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) Danijel Živković announced at today's session of the Assembly that the supporters of the coalition For the Future of Montenegro (ZBCG) intend to prevent the holding of the session of the Municipal Assembly (SO) of Šavnik.
"We are aware that the supporters of your political entity intended to prevent the holding of the session of the Savnik Municipal Assembly (SO), which was convened in order to eliminate all the dilemmas or shortcomings that the Government directed towards the three municipalities - Savnik, Budva and Andrijevica", said Živković. addressing the President of the Assembly Andrija Mandić and added that, according to his knowledge, ZBCG supporters broke into the hall to implement their intention.
Živković called on the competent institutions to react in this case, and Mandić, as the leader of ZBCG, called on the supporters of that coalition to "not break the law".
"If you don't do it, and there is no reaction from the institutions, don't doubt that we will solve the situation," said Živković.
Mandić, responding to the DPS president, called on "all citizens to respect the law, not just their supporters".
"I would not like anyone to take justice into their own hands, because those who do that will also be held accountable before the law. The practice of every democratic state is that there are institutions that deal with those situations in which the law is violated," said the head of the parliament.
Mandić added that this problem would not have existed if people from other municipalities had not been registered in the voter list of Šavnik.
"We had 40 people enrolled in one 17-square-meter apartment," he pointed out.
Živković, reacting to Mandić's allegations, said that the local self-government in that municipality informed the Police Directorate (UP) that this scenario would occur, but that the UP did not react.
"Supporters of your political subject violently stormed into the Šavnik municipal police station on the same principle as they stormed the Andrijevica municipal police station, and the police and the prosecutor's office did not react, despite the warning," said the DPS president.
Commenting on the rewriting of voters from other municipalities, Živković noted that his party was not in power at the time, and that the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP) is responsible for the voter list.
"It is necessary to conduct elections at two more polling stations according to the current electoral legislation," he pointed out.
According to him, supporters of the ruling majority are preventing the municipality from correcting what the Government warned them about.
Mandić added that "this problem can only be solved through dialogue".
