SNS Candidate for Kula Assembly President Fails Election Again Amidst Internal Party Votes

N1 Serbia reports on a significant political stalemate in Kula, where the candidate for the Municipal Assembly President, Velibor Milojičić of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), failed to secure the position for a second time. The majority of councilors voted against his appointment, a surprising outcome given the secret ballot system.

The situation points to internal divisions within the SNS, as the secret vote implies that some party members themselves voted against Milojičić. This internal dissent has created a legal vacuum, as the assembly's rules of procedure do not clearly outline the next steps when a president is not elected in the first round. Rade Obradović, a councilor, noted this legal ambiguity and suggested that the SNS might be determined to push Milojičić through regardless, potentially leading to the formation of a temporary body to govern the municipality and make critical decisions like the budget rebalance.

Dešava se situacija koja se nije desila, Poslovnik nije predvideo situaciju šta se dešava ako predsednik Skupštine nije izabran u prvom krugu. Imamo pravnu prazninu. Ne mogu da dam tačnu formulaciju, verovatno i oni tumače kako su došli u ovu sitaciju

The presence of numerous SNS supporters and heavily equipped police outside the Municipal Assembly building underscores the tension surrounding this political impasse. The failure to elect a president raises questions about the stability of local governance in Kula and the ability of the SNS to maintain party discipline and unity in its decision-making processes.
