Ulcinj: DPS to pick and choose its coalition partners

 

A new meeting will be organized on Wednesday for talks with the mayor of Ulcinj, Fatmir Đeka, writes Dnevne Novine daily.

“Yesterday’s meeting was used to discuss the political situation in Ulcinj and overcoming of problems the municipality is facing”, said for Dnevne Novine the president of Forca, Nazif Cungu.

 

 

He added that decisions must be based on the interests of the citizens of Ulcinj, which has untapped development opportunities.

“It was also concluded that the local government should be made up of professional staff in order to increase its administrative capacity and results”, said Cungu.

President of the municipal board of DPS in Ulcinj, Ijora Nrekić, said it was too early to talk about the outcome of the meeting because the negotiations are still in progress. He confirmed that there were two open positions, for mayor and for president of the local assembly.

“It still remains that the talks be conducted with the other side. The result of negotiations will depend of the presidency of the party, they shall decide, and then their decision should be verified by the municipal and executive board of the party”, explained Nrekić.

He confirmed Cungu was offered a wider coalition, which would include both DPS and the former mayor of Ulcinj, Fatmir Djeka. He was, however, not offered a concrete place in the coalition, although he at first aspired to the presidency of the municipality.

Force, Coalition for the future of Ulcinj and Dritan Abazovic formed the local government in Ulcinj at the beginning of February 2014.

DPS is the single strongest party in Ulcinj which participates in the local parliament with nine councilors, while Forca has eight, and the coalition of Fatmir Djeka, seven councilors. DUA has three councilors, the SDP and the URA two each, and DF and SNP one deputy each. Local Parliament has 33 members in total.
