A total of ten parties and coalitions will participate in the local elections in Berane. On the ballot on December 8, the people of Beran will be able to choose among some expected coalitions and alliances, and there are also some that represent a kind of surprise.
A more stable and long-term government is expected by almost all parties that will participate in the upcoming extraordinary local elections in Berane.
From the New Serbian Democracy (NSD), which will be in a coalition with the Democratic People's Party (DNP) and United Montenegro in the elections on December 8, they say that they failed to create a wider coalition.
"We had the desire to create as large a coalition as possible, as wide a coalition as possible with the parties that are in the Government of Montenegro. However, the other parties have assessed up to this point, for them, a better way is for some to join the coalition, some independently. We certainly expect that our list made a good result," Vuko Todorović (NSD) pointed out.
Although, as they claim, they had several offers for a coalition, the Democrats decided to go to these elections independently, and the holder of their list will be the current President of the Municipality, Božo Premović.
"From the election, we expect the citizens to recognize what Democratic Montenegro has done in the previous two years, as well as the first four years since we have been in the local government, that the councilors and deputies of Democratic Montenegro have never betrayed the citizens of Beran as well as the citizens of Montenegro. , that in the coming period we will try to work and develop our city," said Mladen Rmuš from Beran Democrats.
The Democrats also rejected the Europe Now Movement (PES), because they did not accept that the holder of the PES cadre should be on that list.
The Socialist People's Party (SNP) agreed to this, even though they had seven councilors in the previous elections, and PES will be tested for the first time in the elections in Berane.
"We show a responsibility towards this city because Berane is our first priority and it doesn't matter who is the president of the municipality and who is the list holder, it is important that we make good results for Berane and the SNP has shown its breadth and responsibility that we left the list holder in this moment," said Ivan Radević (SNP).
"SNP is a partner in the government, in our government of Milojko Spajić. Given that it is a partner in the government, I see no reason why we should not be partners at the local level as well. I am glad that behind me there are a large number of doctors, engineers and various other professions who have recognized that I can be at the head of the list of those who have shown their trust in me," said Đole Lutovac, holder of the PES-SNP list.
The Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) reiterates that there is no stable government without them, and that they expect a good result, like the one recently achieved in Podgorica.
"If they were to come to the position of government, we offer people who will normally work with heart and knowledge for the benefit of all citizens. We expect a more enviable result, we expect a positive result. We, as in all cities, the growth trend, the growth trend of the policy of supporting of DPS, as well as in Berane," said Miro Nedić, the leader of the DPS list in Berane.
In the upcoming local elections in Berane, the Party of Justice and Reconciliation, the Bosniak Party, Free Montenegro, two civil lists "We live for youth" and "We love Berane" and the European Union, which consists of the Social Democrats (SD), the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Liberal Party (LP).
