Constitutive sessions of the parliaments in several towns are expected to be held this Sunday. However, the example of Bar shows that the problem could be the allocation of other functions.
The division of political cake in Bar is harder than expected. The reason for this is that the coalition partners of DPS have made, from the view of the ruling party, unexpectedly good results that immediately raised their roles in the negotiations and conditioned the finalization of the coalition agreement.
SD took over 3,800, a group of citizens "Biram Bar" headed by Radomir Novakovic Cakan with more than 2,500 votes, while DPS, in spite of its excellent performance in the number of winning delegates - 15, received the smallest number of votes at the elections in Bar this year - slightly over 7,200. The ruling coalition in Bar, as expected, should be made by DPS, SD, "Biram Bar" and the Bosnian party with 28 of 37 members of the local parliament in Bar. The division of functions was the topic at the meeting between the coalition partners which lasted five hours with small breaks on Friday night and a new session will be held today forthcoming the constituent session of SO Bar scheduled for Tuesday the 26th of June.
According to the available data, it is indisputable that DPS will have their own person appointed as the President of the Municipality, and the most likely candidate is Dušan Raičević. The objectives of this party in the Bar municipality are key secretariats - for finances, property, and investments, and for area planning. DPS also wants to keep the Tourist Organization, DOO Moćura, and DOO Lovstvo. SD, on the other hand, wants to form an agency for development, which was one of the main points of their campaign, but also to maintain the existing positions – the Utility Police, the Sports Center, the Department of Protection and the Water Supply company. However, this last item is the biggest stumbling point in the negotiations. From the party headquarters in Podgorica, it was unofficially pointed out that as far as municipal companies are concerned, Vodovod (Water Supply company) is now an "absolute priority". Except for the short story with the Liberal Party, this company has been, since the beginning of the century, under control firstly by the Social Democratic Party and then the SD party. The source did not answer the question of whether this was a sincere desire to take over a company for which the opposition claims to generate for decades, "both finances and secured votes" or the mechanism of pressure on SD to soften its attitudes in the part of the negotiations.
The “Biram Bar" party in the negotiations requires the position of the President of the municipality, at which for the last two years has been Novakovic, and then JP Cultural Center. BS would unofficially be pleased to maintain its current positions - vice president of the municipality and secretary for agriculture and rural development.
A company that no one wants to "fight over" is Utilities company DOO, which is interpreted by interlocutors by "Vijesti" from the ranks of the largest coalition partners, because the transformation of the company is not over yet, and the effects of its work are the most obvious "and most suitable to criticisms".
