The State Election Commission (DPS) accepted the objections of the DPS-SD-BS coalition, and decided to repeat the elections in five polling stations in Berane. DIK members from the opposition did not support this decision.

The session of the DIK, which was interrupted on 13 February due to its chairman Budimir Saranovic’s illness, was resumed today.

“There is no reason to annul the election in Berane. But using brutal force, ruling coalition voted for annulling elections in some polling stations in Berane. It has nothing to do with the law, let alone moral,” said DIK secretary and opposition representative Veljo Cadjenovic.

He announced that the legal deadline for the elections to be repeated is seven days after the delivery of the decision.

According to Milisav Coric, DIK member representing opposition, there were elements to annul the elections only in one polling station.

“The DPS-BS-SD voting machine accepted the objections. Legal principles were violated and it is evident that DIK is burdened by organized crime,” Coric said at a press conference.

The elections in Berane were held on 4 February. Then the DPS-SD-BS coalition won 17 seats, the Zdravo Berane coalition won 14 seats and the Democratic Montenegro 4 seats.
