Presidential and local elections cannot be held on the same day, the office of the President of Montenegro announced.
As it explained, it is legally impossible.
“None of the opposition parties or coalitions or anyone in Montenegro addressed a written proposal to the President of Montenegro for scheduling local elections on the same day when the presidential elections are scheduled. It is assumed that they have checked that it is legally impossible,” the president’s office said.
It added that such an option would only be possible in the case of local elections in the Municipality of Pluzine.
“The first day in which the elections in Pluzine could be called on 9 February 2018,” the office said.
This year, local elections in Montenegro should be held in the City of Podgorica and 11 municipalities.
