The stay Balše Spadier one of the key conditions of the former councilors of the Europe Now Movement (PES) in the position of secretary for finance of the Capital City in negotiations with their colleagues the day before yesterday about the division of power in Podgorica, "Vijesti" has learned unofficially.
According to the newspaper, negotiations between PES and the newly formed Movement for Podgorica should continue immediately after the May Day and Easter holidays. Until then, the Movement for Podgorica should define which positions in the city government it is interested in.
Spadijer is part of the Movement for Podgorica. So far, there has been no public talk about the fact that his position in the capital could be threatened due to the splitting of the strongest ruling party.
After the recent split in PES, the five councilors who created the Movement for Podgorica left that party, and with the Civic Movement (GP) URA and the Movement for Change (PzP) agreed on joint action. They have 11 councilors and are the largest group in the city parliament.
Those councilors, who jointly act under the name "Blok 11", will meet with the president of the Capital City Assembly today. Jelena Borovinić Bojović ("For the future of Podgorica"), and on Monday, at a press conference, 11 initiatives will be presented by the mayors Oliveri Injac (PES).
Those councilors met with Injac the night before last, but they did not want to talk about the details of the initiatives that they will ask to be implemented urgently.
"Vijesti" was unofficially told that the initiatives "are against the backdrop of pre-election promises to the citizens" and that they require "some concrete things to be initiated in the city".
One of the newspaper's sources said that in "Block 11" they are allegedly not satisfied with the work of certain city officials, such as the heads of some agencies, and that they are asking for their dismissal.
"Blok 11" announced after the meeting with Injac that they agreed that "it is necessary to improve coordination and efficiency in the interest of the citizens of Podgorica".
"In a constructive dialogue, the councilors of 'Block 11' said that they expect the mayor to influence the implementation of pre-election promises more dynamically and efficiently, which as a local government we owe to the citizens of Podgorica together," the announcement states.
"Block 11" said that they expect the "new political reality to be recognized" as soon as possible, that is, to enable adequate participation of the Movement for Podgorica, both in parliamentary working bodies and in the executive power.
"In that way... they would take responsibility for the implementation of the pre-election promises of the former joint party PES", it was announced after the meeting with Injac.
"Block 11" previously said that the memorandum signed by the Movement for Podgorica, GP URA and PzP foresees that they will agree on joint actions and initiatives in the Assembly of the Capital City. Then it was announced that they would intensify communication with the administration of the capital - the mayor and her deputy Luka Rakčević (GP URA), in order to achieve some of their ideas, initiatives and pre-election promises more easily.
One of the "Vijesti" sources said that in "Block 11" they are allegedly not satisfied with the work of certain city officials, such as the heads of some agencies, and that they are asking for their dismissal.
While waiting for the continuation of the negotiations on the division of power, the members of the opposition in the Podgorica parliament announced that they will submit an initiative for the dismissal of Injac by the end of the week because she did not submit a work report to the assembly. Although they have not submitted the proposal yet, they have already sought support for the removal of Injac from among the parties of the city government.
The Podgorica parliament has 58 representatives, of which 34 belong to the government and 24 to the opposition. This means that the opposition needs at least six votes from the government to dismiss Injac.
Head of the Social Democrat Club and the Liberal Party Miloš Maskovic, told "Vijesti" last week that informal negotiations are underway "with certain councilor clubs within the ruling majority", among which, as he stated, "there is a mood to dismiss Injac because of this situation".
"Which they don't consider to be doing their job adequately", he added.
