Three months after the local elections Cetinje finally got the mayor. The candidate of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), Aleksandar Kascelan, was elected as the successor of Aleksandar Bogdanovic. He was supported by 16 DPS councillors and SD councillor Ivan Gazivoda.

Before the City Council session, Nikola Djuraskovic (SDP) said that there was no quorum for opening the today’s session, because seven DPS councillors had earlier resigned.

“In order for the City Council to establish the termination of their offices and approve appointment of new councillors at the beginning of the session, it must have a quorum before opening the session. According to the Law on the Election of Councillors and MPs, a councillor’s term of office ends on the day of resignation. Therefore those who resigned cannot provide a quorum for the beginning of the session,” said Djuraskovic.

The Democrats share this view.

Cetinje did not get the mayor yesterday because the City Council session was delayed due to lack of quorum. Only 16 DPS councillors came to the session yesterday.
