The Electoral Assembly of the Association of Clubs FSCG Centar will be held on Wednesday in Podgorica. Delegates, representing clubs and associations, will have the opportunity to vote for one of two candidates.
Dragan Vujović, former football player and director of Buducnosti, legend of Yugoslav football, player of Montreal and New York Cosmos, will come "on the line" to Risto Lakić, also former player and director of Buducnosti, former footballer of Partizan, member of the Montenegrin national team.
Vujović is the candidate of the opposition - he is in favor of personal changes in the leadership of Montenegrin football, the replacement of the current leadership of FSCG and president Dejan Savićević, while Lakić is a candidate for the position.
Why are these elections, in the sea of past ones, in any of the three regions, so significant that there were so many ripples in football and non-football circles in the past few days?
In football Montenegro, after the political changes, in 2020, an organized opposition appeared for the first time since independence.
In the elections at the Football Association level in 2021, Savićević had an opponent in the elections for the first time since 2006, and even earlier, since 2001, when he took over the Association, then one of the members of the joint state. In fact, he should have, because the former judge Jovan Kaluđerović ultimately did not appear at the 2021 election Assembly, and neither did the delegates who were supposed to vote for him - considering the session illegitimate.
After that, the opposition continued to act, and Vujović ran for the Central Region (now the FSCG Club Association - Center) in front of the non-governmental organization "Football Montenegro".
At the election Assembly of the Football Association of Montenegro (the next one should be held in 2025), three regions have the largest number of votes - three each, first league clubs two each, and second league clubs one each.
As the opposition took over the former Southern region in the last elections, now the FSCG South club association (Nenad Maslovar is at the head), while in the North nothing has changed after the elections, later and repeated ones (the president is still Vojislav Došljak), then it is clear how important is the "positioning" in the center - maybe it could even bring an advantage.
Elections in the central region are now being organized due to the death of the former president, Vladan Vučelić.
The president of the region is elected by the delegates of the clubs and associations - the first division players have three delegates, that is, three votes each, the second division players have two votes, and the third division players from the Center region have one vote each, as many associations have in front of referees, coaches, women's football and futsal.
The new president is elected by a simple majority.
