President of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic, made a new decision – the local elections in 13 municipalities and the Capital City Podgorica will be held on 23 October 2022 – the Advisor to the President for Constitutional System and Legal Issues, Boris Bastijancic, stated.
Mr Bastijancic points out that President Djukanovic today made the Decision on suspending the enforcement of decisions on calling for elections for councillors in line with the Decision of the Constitutional Court of Montenegro, which entered into force on August 1, and has the immediate legal consequence – the repeal of the Law on Amendments to the Law on Local Self-Government.
