At the election Assembly of the Basketball Association of Montenegro, two candidates will "fight" for the position of president - the current first member of the Board of Directors, Nikola Pekovgo, and the man who held that position from March 2010 to February 2011, Igor Luksic.

The former Prime Minister of Montenegro was the head of the then Presidency of the KSCG in the period between his departure Veselin Barović and arrival Milo Đukanović.

He was a member of the DPS, Minister of Finance, Prime Minister of Montenegro from 2010 to 2012, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration in Đukanović's government from 2012 to 2016, and after that he worked in a recognized auditing firm until 2021. "PricewaterhouseCoopers".

He is currently an associate professor at the University of Donja Gorica, and in 2016 he was also a candidate for Secretary General of the United Nations, but he gave it up.

As "Vijesti" unofficially learns, Lukšić, who was also the head of KK Mornar on two occasions, was nominated for president by 25 out of 85 members of the Assembly.

The mandate of the current members of the KSCG Board of Directors expired in January, while Peković succeeded Barović as president on May 24, 2021. His mandate was supposed to last four years, but he agreed to stand for new elections.

It's no secret that lately the relations between the celebrated center of Partizan, Panathinaikos and Minnesota with the previous management group in KSCG are not good.

Danilo Mitrovic i Zoran Piperović resigned from the Board of Directors after qualifying for the World Cup in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia, and the fights started much earlier.

Lukšić is on good terms with Barović and Mitrović, and was proposed as a candidate of their "stream", which has repeatedly reproached Peković for his good relations with the prime minister. Dritan Abazović.

Considering that the KSCG Assembly is scheduled for June 16, five days after the parliamentary elections, it would not be a surprise that those results would "break" and the question of who will lead the Alliance in the next four years...

The deadline for submitting candidacies expired last night at midnight.
