The Water Polo and Swimming Association of Montenegro is getting a new president today, the position that has been vacant since the middle of December last year, when the mandate of Dejan Bajić expired, will be filled.
And that is what is certain, and it is uncertain who will succeed him as the first man of Montenegrin water polo. Officially, there are two candidates - Đuro Marić, who until recently was the president of the Assembly of VPSCG, and Mirko Vičević, a famous water polo player.
The beginning of the Electoral Assembly is scheduled for 17:10 at the "Ramada" hotel in Podgorica, and XNUMX clubs have the right to vote.
The largest clubs Primorac and Jadran have three representatives each - thus three votes -, Budvanska Riviera and Kataro have two each. All other clubs are "worth" one vote each - Budućnost and Verde (from Podgorica), Baterflaj from Nikšić and Nikšić, and Stari grad and Orka from Budva.
Vičević announced his candidacy two weeks before Bajić's mandate expired, later he called out the Water Polo Association for deliberately delaying the convening of the Assembly.
"I made the decision to run for office after talking with the representatives of the clubs, after I felt that I had their support. If the Association had had its own candidate by now, there would not have been such a long wait," Vičević told "Vijesti" in early February.
Marić, on the other hand, while he was still only unofficially a candidate for the presidency, announced the Electoral Assembly for the end of February, after the qualifications for the Olympic Games are over.
Thus, on the last day of March, the answer will be given as to who will hold the mandate for four years.
Vičević or Marić will be the third president of the Water Polo and Swimming Association of Montenegro, after Srđan Kovačević was at the helm from 2006 to 2016, and Bajić from 2016 to 2020.
