The deadline for constituting the Assembly of the City of Belgrade expires today. The session chaired by socialist Tom Phil as the oldest councilor should start at 10.00:XNUMX am. The SNS has already made the decision to repeat the Belgrade elections

Member of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) in the capacity of chairman according to the age criterion, Tom Phil, announced today's session on March 1, as he stated, just like on February 19, that there is no quorum for the work and constitution of the city assembly. It was not there because councilors from the list "Aleksandar Vučić - Belgrade must not stop" and his SPS did not come.

Yesterday, the Presidency of the Serbian Progressive Party made a unanimous decision to go to "new" Belgrade elections, so it is at least clear that everything that happens in the Belgrade Assembly will be tactical moves and part of the election campaign that has already started.

"Vreme" learns that councilors from the coalition "Serbia against violence" will come to the assembly hall, as they did the previous two times. Then they were ready to prevent the work of this body due to "election theft" and demanded a repeat of the Belgrade elections.

If the Assembly is not constituted even today by confirming the mandate of councilors, electing the president of the City Assembly and appointing the secretary, the conditions are created to call for new elections.

City elections must be called by the President of the Serbian Parliament within a month, but he has not been elected either.

Until then, the city will be governed by the Provisional Authority headed by Aleksandar Šapić, which also includes Vladimir Obradović and Dobrica Veselinović.

Deadlines

"The oldest councilor is obliged to appear and if there is no quorum, postpone or cancel the session as before," Zoran Alimpić, a member of the City Election Commission, explained to "Danas".

He said that if SNS wants quick elections, it must not constitute the City Assembly.

"In the event that the city parliament is not constituted, the President of the Assembly of Serbia has a period of 30 days in which to schedule elections. From scheduling to maintenance, no less than 45 nor more than 60 days must pass," says Alimpić.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
