Five councilors left NSD Budva and supported Jovanović: Mandić's seat and entry into the government more important than Božović

"We don't want to have anything more to do with the party and the leadership led by Andrija Mandić, who installed a 'temporary' committee based on the Stalinist model and handed the party's fate into the hands of Mladen Mikijelj and Nemanja Kuljača, who, according to his dictation from Podgorica, overthrew the government in Budva"

Five councilors of the New Serbian Democracy (NSD) in Budva, Aleksandar Božović, Milica Radonić, Milena Perović, Milijana Đukić and Marijana Božović, announced that they had left the party and supported the list "Budva naš grad" led by Nikola Jovanović.

"Hereby, we want to inform the entire public that we are officially leaving the New Serbian Democracy and resigning from membership in the Provisional Board of NSD Budva. We no longer want to have anything to do with the party and the leadership led by Andrija Mandić, who installed the 'provisional' board according to the Stalinist model and handed the fate of the party into the hands of Mladen Mikijelj and Nemanja Kuljača, who, according to his dictation from Podgorica, overthrew the government in Budva," states the statement signed by Aleksandar Božović, Milica Radonić, Milijana Đukić, Marijana Božović and Milena Perović.

These five councilors add that from the moment of the detention of the president of the Municipality of Budva, Milo Božović, "we are witnessing a fatal attempt to put Budva under the paw of the central government and to entrust the government to dubious types in order to achieve personal interest".

"We entered politics with a clean face and hands, and we will remain so. Our city once again became a hostage to commerce at the central level, because it was more important for Andrija Mandić to keep the chair of the President of the Assembly and to enter the Government than to stand behind his friend Milo It is especially disgusting that he came to Budva on the anniversary of the arrest of the President of the Municipality and did not mention Milo Božović as if he was not even alive following the model of Kim Jong Un, nor to invite any of his family members to attend, even though they are one of the founders of the party. That for him Budva was just a prey was evident from the silence when the government that he holds on glass feet attacked the local parliament and when she wanted to dissolve us and introduce a committee of commissioners. That silence said it all and everything is clear to everyone," states the statement signed by five selectmen.

They said that they did not allow the introduction of forced administration and the installation of a temporary government at the will of Andrija Mandić and the Prime Minister of Montenegro, Milojko Spajić, and that they returned their council mandates to the citizens, because, as they stated, they only serve them.

"There are no such functions with which they could corrupt us or persuade us to be obedient to someone's personal interests. Bearing in mind all of the above, we decided to join the electoral list 'Budva our city', whose holder is Nikola Jovanović, the president of the Budva Municipality Assembly, because it is the only correct, honorable and honest way of representing the interests of our citizens. Deprived of all party constraints and centralist interests, as free individuals, we continue our activities with the same people with whom we won important victories in Budva and started a wave of changes throughout Montenegro as of 30 . in August. We invite all free-thinking citizens of Budva, who want a responsible and honest government that does not divide its citizens, to support us and to be together in perhaps the most important fight for Budva, for our city." in a statement signed by Aleksandar Božović, Milica Radonić, Milijana Đukić, Marijana Božović and Milena Perović.
