The early elections in Budva on May 26 will be an opportunity for many parties to test themselves and see how much trust they have from the citizens, and some of them are intensively considering this possibility - the interlocutors of "Vijesti" said.
The Budva committee of the SDP will most likely go to the elections independently, said their vice president Petar Odžić.
"In the previous mandate, we proved ourselves as the leaders of the opposition state-building bloc, and everything we criticized the current majority proved to be a fact. Although the political situation is 'charged', the SDP will lead a positive campaign in order to contribute to the normalization of interpersonal relations in the city", said Odžić to "Vijesta".
After two decades, for the first time, the opposition DPS could go to the elections independently. The good result that the strongest opposition party in Budva achieved in last year's parliamentary elections, when it received the trust of 25 percent of the voters, is one of the reasons why the members of that party ask that it no longer participate in coalitions, because it is often criticized that certain coalition partners are received council seats as a "gift" thanks to DPS.
For the first time, the PES, which does not have a formed committee in the city, is participating in the local elections in Budva. "Vijesti" was told that, after the great support of the citizens in the parliamentary and presidential elections, they could also go out on their own, but "they are ready for talks with anyone who thinks well of the city".
And the Democrats will most likely come out independently, and will not conclude coalitions with political subjects, but may accept the support of some group of citizens, "Vijesti" was told from that party.
How the GP URA will go will be known tonight, when a meeting of the municipal committee will be held in an expanded composition, which, as "Vijesti" was told, will also be attended by the leader of the party Dritan Abazovic.
The public is most interested in how the once unique DF, which was led in the last local elections by the now detained municipal president, will take part in the elections. Milo Bozovic. It was precisely the split within Božović's coalition, and the mutual open war between the two factions, that led to the shortening of the mandate of the local parliament only a year and a half after the election, when this political alliance won an absolute majority.
"Vijesti" was told that NSD and PzP will come out with a single list, and that negotiations will be open for SNP to join them. It is a faction led by the current directors of "Morski dobr" and TO Budva Mladen Mikijelj i Nemanja Kuljaca.
And the opposing faction gathered around the outgoing president of the Municipal Assembly Nikola Jovanović will come out with a special list, which will formally be the DNP list. It remains to be seen whether the list will carry a name Milo Božović.
So far, it is not known whether a group of citizens will be formed that could participate in the elections. "Vijesti" was told that it is not yet known whether the president will Jakov Milatovic to support a list, although many parties expect that it could be them, bearing in mind that the head of state has a lot of sympathizers in Budva.
