Jokić told Television Vijesti that Kotor is now in front of the Šavnica scenario, since they have an even number of members of the Municipal Election Commission (MEC), which should make a decision on re-calling the election at one polling station in Prčanj.

The Constitutional Court did not make a decision on the appeals of the list holder of the coalition of Democratic Montenegro and the Europe Now Movement (PES) in Kotor, Vladimir Jokić, because the result of the vote was "tied".

Jokić told Television Vijesti that Kotor is now in front of the Šavnica scenario, since they have an even number of members of the Municipal Election Commission (MEC), which should make a decision on re-calling elections at one polling station in Prčanj.

The judges of the Constitutional Court, regarding the two appeals of the Democrats-PES coalition on the elections at two polling stations in Kotor, decided a tie, three in favor and three against.

Jokić said that the decision was political, not judicial.

"The reasons that decided them to vote like that six years ago, when there were presidential elections, when it was necessary for DPS and President Đukanović, they voted completely opposite to what they did today. Their actions are neither legal nor judicial, it's purely political, partisan and shameful. With this kind of legal situation, we're getting into a situation where this election process can't go on forever," Jokić told TV Vijesti.

On October 11, Jokić submitted two appeals to the Constitutional Court regarding the election process in the towns of Mirac and Prčanj.

The Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) is also asking for a repeat of the elections, with the State Election Commission (SEC) ordering that the Kotor Municipal Council announce the decision on new voting in those two places.

At the session, the local commission did not make a decision on repeating the election, because eight of its members supported the annulment of the vote, while eight were against it.

At least nine votes are needed to make a decision.
