The Nis opposition tried in vain to prevent the inevitable from happening. She only managed to extend the constituent session of the Niš City Assembly to 18 p.m. Then the "Aleksandar Vučić - Niš sutra" list elected Dragoslav Pavlović as mayor
After more than 18 hours, the constitutive session of the Assembly of Niš ended. On Tuesday at 4:31 in the morning, Dragoslav Pavlović became the mayor, writes "Južne vesti". 31 out of 61 councilors voted for him - those from the "Aleksandar Vučić - Niš sutra" list and the one disputed councilor from the Russian list. Representatives of the opposition abstained from voting.
After it was finally voted after heated debates around one o'clock after midnight, the new mayor read his exposé for over an hour and a half.
Former director of JKP Mediana, employed in EPS, Dragoslav Pavlović led the list of the coalition around SNS in the local elections on June 2. He was also the assistant to the mayor of Niš from July 2016, the president of the Women's Handball Club "Naisa" and member of the Board of Directors of the Handball Association of Serbia. This year, he was elected as a member of the SNS Board of Trustees in the municipality of Mediana. He has a degree in electrical engineering.
His deputy will be Luka Gašević, graduate in law, director of the Gerontological Center. The official of the Socialist Party of Serbia, Igor Novaković, was elected as the president of the City Assembly, the lawyer Vladica Maričić as the deputy president of the City Assembly, and Anđela Milojević as the secretary of the assembly.
The constitutive session of the Assembly of Niš will be remembered for its marathon duration and fierce debates between opposition councilors and Serbian Progressive Party councilors and their coalition partners.
The arguments that could be heard at the constitutive session were more or less the same as those that the Nis opposition has been repeating since Vučić's local offshoots declared victory - that Nišlje was grossly stolen, that the will of the people was changed. The epilogue was the same.
The Serbian Progressive Party has also patched up that hole in its absolute power at all levels.
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, announced that he will personally file criminal charges against all those who participated "in the pursuit to destroy" the investment in the General Staff. He pointed out that the Serbs are masters of "missed opportunities" and mentioned the neighbor and the cow's croaking
Speaking about Ćaciland, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said that he would personally try to ask the crowd to withdraw and clear the road, noting that he was not sure whether his appeal would be accepted.
The lex specialis remains in force, which means that nothing prevents the regime from finding another investor instead of Jared Kushner and overthrowing the General Staff. Will the lex specialis for the General Staff serve as well as the Lex Tenis, which provided selected investors with lucrative leases of agricultural land
Retired prosecutor Bojana Paunović, in an interview for "Vreme", explains what legal steps the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office should take after the video of Pavlo Bihali became public, in which he stated that it was more acceptable for him "to be a carer than to end up in prison".
Vuk Raonic was recognized by journalists as the attacker of Juronjuz Srbija cameraman Mirko Todorović. The prosecutor's office dismissed the criminal charges against him, and for his "activities" he was awarded the post of assistant mayor of Novi Sad.
The citizens of Serbia are faced with a choice: either Vučić or the European Union. Everything else is empty talk
None of us have the right to give up our freedom. It is unacceptable to lose heart. Leaving the last line of defense is unacceptable. Because the barbarian attack on prosecutors and judges is their last attack. Beyond that is the abyss
You should not touch Ćaciland before the holidays. Since there will be no New Year celebrations on the streets in Belgrade, it should be left as an attraction for foreign tourists
