Nikola Nikodijević was elected as the President of the Belgrade City Assembly

The members of the Assembly of Belgrade elected Nikola Nikodijević as the President of the Assembly, thus beginning his fourth term in that position.

A total of 72 councilors voted, and Nikodijević was elected with 60 votes for and 12 against.

Councilors of the Belgrade City Assembly adopted the report of the Verification Committee for the confirmation of councilor mandates at the constituent session.

Councilor of the Green-Left Front (ZLF) and candidate for mayor of the "Biramo Beograd" coalition, Dobrica Veselinović, resigned from the position of councilor.

He says for "Vreme" that in accordance with the "new political culture" he resigned from the council mandate on Friday.

"I wish happy work to the new councilors in the new convocation, with the message that they adhere to the highest moral and ethical principles in their work, and not be slaves to financial or party interests when making decisions." Public interest, not private interest, must be the guiding principle in the work of the Belgrade City Assembly, as well as respect for the law, the coat of arms of our city and the flag of our country," said Veselinović.

The councilors of the Green-Left Front greeted his speech with applause, and the chairman from the ranks of the Socialist Party of Serbia, Toma Fil, expressed his regret and considered it a shame.

Verified mandates of councilors in the City Assembly

Councilors of the City Assembly adopted today, at the constitutive session, the report of the Verification Committee for confirmation of the mandate of councilors of the City of Belgrade Assembly, based on the report of the City Election Commission on the allocation of mandates to councilors of the City of Belgrade Assembly, which confirmed the mandates for all 110 councilors of the city parliament.

The members of the Kreni-promeni movement left the session of the City Assembly after the verification of the mandate, as announced by Savo Manojlović, the leader of the movement, at a press conference in front of the General Staff building this morning.

He told the journalists in the hall of the City Assembly that they did it because of what they consider to be electoral irregularities in the local elections on June 2, especially in Niš, and that they will pay the councilor compensation for humanitarian purposes.
