If there was a dilemma, it no longer exists - candidacies for the president of the Water Polo and Swimming Association of Montenegro have been made official before the extraordinary session of the Electoral Assembly scheduled for Friday in Podgorica.
There are two candidates for the leadership position in VPSCG, with the fact that according to the announcement from the umbrella institution it can be concluded that Nikola Milić he has a much better chance of becoming president than a legend Veljko Uskoković.
"According to the invitation for the election of the president, two candidacies were accepted - Veljko Uskoković and Nikola Milić. Veljko Uskoković was nominated by Primorac, while the candidacy of Nikola Milić was supported by Jadran Mtel, Budva-Budvanska Riviera, Budućnost, Akvatik verde, Mladost and Baterflaj, and he subsequently received support from Nikšić as well", according to the statement published by VPSCG.
So, seven to one - that's the sum in favor of Milić at this moment, who, whether someone wants to admit it or not, is a great favorite to become the heir Đura Marić.
Milić is 40 years old, he was a water polo player in the younger categories of Primorje, then he moved to Herceg Novi because of his business career, after completing his economics studies. He has been in the hotel (tourist) business since 2009, and in recent years he has been a member of the Jadran Mtela management board.
"Vijesti" announced last Wednesday that Milić has the best chance of becoming the president of the water polo and swimming federation, and the next day Uskoković spoke up and stated in his response that "a few days before the election, one candidate is tendentially favored on the basis of unverified facts, which is misleading public".
He forgot, however, that only delegates from the assembly of the Water Polo Association, and not journalists, can give preference to one candidate over another (whatever his name was). Uskoković stated in the aforementioned reaction that he entered this race after a "gentleman's agreement" between the clubs from Kotor and Herceg Novi.
"I accepted on the basis of a gentleman's agreement on the rotating function of leadership, as well as out of the desire to create a discontinuity in the current way of leading the Alliance," said Uskoković.
If that gentleman's agreement really existed, it seems that there is nothing of it. or Primorac - when he realized that he would not get what he wanted - decided to "spend" the legendary ace in this way.
Primorac "struck" the Alliance before the beginning of the summer when he was the then vice-president of the VPSCG Siniša Kovačević and the first man of the VPSCG assembly Mirza Krcic resigned. On October 14, he succeeded Krcić as president of the assembly Dejan Radjenovic (representative of Budva), while the vice president Rajko Cupic from the Future. The leaders of Primorje did not like that...
"All these are agreements that Primorac was not aware of, i.e. it is obvious that some people thought that they should not introduce us to the name of the candidate for the president of the assembly. It is clear that there was an agreement between a couple of clubs regarding the candidates, and at the session no one asked where the representatives of Primorje were, because they obviously did not need us. The agreement was made without us with the clear intention of ostracizing Primorje, which is very bad for the functioning of VPSCG", read the statement of Primorje signed by the president Siniša Kovačević.
