Vladomir Jokić was dismissed from the function of the President of the municipality of Kotor, it was decided at today’s meeting of 18 councilors of the local parliament.
Apart from the opposition, members of SDP also voted for his dismissal.
President of the municipal assembly, Dragica Perović, broke up the meeting for indefinite period of time but it was continued after 10-minute break.
Bruna Lončarević, member of SDP, said that Mrs Perović had turned off microphones and left but that there remained enough councilors to vote and dismiss Jokić. Eighteen councilors were just enough for the presence quorum and the meeting continued.
“There hasn’t been any parliament in this town for a year and half, the government isn’t functioning. We can’t accept this”, said Bruna Lončarević.
Initiative for Jokić’s dismissal was launched by the SDP, and it was supported by DPS, Social Democrats and Croatian Civil Alliance.
Earlier today, leader of Democratic Montenegro, Aleksa Bečić, said that they didn’t see Ranko Krivokapić as their partner at any level any more.
Residents of Kotor gathered earlier today in front of Bizanti palace in order to support the governing coalition.
“Let them do what they had planned to do. We won, whatever happens. There are more of us here”, said Vladimir Jokić while entering the building of the municipal assembly.
Several leaders of this municipality have announced resignations in case Jokić is dismissed. Some of them are Dragica Perović, Milivoje Mišo Samardžić, Vice-President of the municipality, Maja Mršulja, secretary of the Municipal Assembly of Kotor and Veljko Vujović, chief municipal administrator.
