Although he does not support tonight's commemoration of the anniversary of the First Serbian Uprising and the adoption of the Constitution of the State of Serbia in Pljevlje, Minister of Public Administration Maraš Dukaj says that this is not explicitly prohibited by law. However, he adds that he does not support this and that such issues will be regulated by new legal solutions.

"As for the legal framework related to the Ministry of Public Administration, it is not clearly defined or specified anywhere. Everyone must bear their own responsibility for their actions, I do not agree with such actions and I hope that we will understand, especially us as officials, that we must not do that, because we have to set an example for other citizens. The new Law on Local Self-Governments will be an opportunity to eliminate all such and similar opportunities as much as possible", said Dukaj.

In the meantime, the Pljevlja Committee of the Europe Now Movement, which is part of the coalition government in that city, announced that the Municipality of Pljevlja does not have the authority to celebrate the holidays of other countries, and that the President of the Municipality Dario Vraneš, if he continues with the outbursts, will bear the responsibility for political crisis in Pljevlja.

The Pljeval URE also sent the same message yesterday, stating that if such initiatives continue, they will cancel their support for the Pljeval authorities.

The Democrats say that they were not consulted regarding the organization of the festivities in Pljevlje, and they assess that the Municipality does not have the constitutional and legal powers to celebrate the days of other countries.

In the meantime, the DPS is calling on the Democrats, PES and URU to sign the initiative for the dismissal of Vraneš, otherwise, as they announce, they will act extra-institutionally.

In addition to the Pljeval local government, Minister Dukaj also spoke about the situation in Andrijevica. He says that his ministry initiated the procedure due to the non-functioning of the authorities in that municipality, which has been pointed out by the local DPS for some time, claiming that the conditions have been met for the dismissal of the first man Andrijevic Željko Ćulafić, due to the failure to adopt the Strategic Development Plan of the Municipality.

"We asked the President of the Municipality for complete documentation related to his work, and we will make a finding very quickly and inform the public," said Dukaj.

The minister also told the journalists in Danilovgrad that he is at the disposal of the competent authorities regarding the case of Turkish citizen Binali Čamgoz, whom he reported for threats.
