Podgorica City Assembly rejects mayor Mujović's report and faces legitimacy dispute

The City Assembly of Podgorica held a vote early Thursday after a two‑day debate, rejecting Mayor Momir Mujović's annual report with 24 votes in favor and 31 against. The assembly also rejected the water‑utility and sewage report (25 for, 28 against) and failed to approve a proposal on the stone quarry project in Kuči (27 for, 25 against, four abstentions). While most other service reports – including those on cleanliness, green spaces, cultural institutions and sports facilities – received majority support, a motion to dismiss the library board was dead‑locked.

Opposition councilors, including Srđan Perić and members of the Europe Now! and Democratic Party of Socialists, argued that the current majority lacks legitimacy to govern the capital. Live commentary highlighted calls for criminal complaints against perceived procedural violations and emphasized the need for broader public consultations. The debate underscored ongoing political friction within Podgorica's governing body.
