Voting at three polling stations in Šavnik and next Sunday

The President of the Savnik Municipal Election Commission, Dušan Radanović, confirmed for TVCG that the voting at three polling stations in Savnik was interrupted, clarifying that the most likely voting at those polling stations will be repeated next weekend.
Voting in the Municipality of Šavnik is repeated today at five polling stations, one in the building of the Municipality of Šavnik, as well as in the villages of Komarnica, Mokro, Bijela and Kruševice.
Voting at polling station number 1 in the Municipality building has been suspended, and TVCG has unofficially learned that voting has also been suspended at polling station number 14 in Kruševice. Election materials were also returned from Bijela, which means that the polling station was closed in that place. As we unofficially learn, the reason for the interruption of voting and the closing of the polling station in Bijela is the same as in the previous two - a number of citizens are not allowed to vote.
Previously, at the Kruševica polling station, voting was interrupted after one voter was not allowed to exercise his right to vote even though he was registered on the voter's list. Voting was also interrupted at polling station number 1 in the Šavnik municipality building.
"Voting was interrupted at two polling stations, namely at polling station number 1 and 14. Some members of the polling boards prevent voters from exercising their right to vote. They claim that they do not live in Šavnik, even though they are registered in the voter's list and have undergone electronic identification. MEC will sit on all objections," said the president of the Municipal Election Commission (MEC) Šavnik Dušan Radanović.
Let us remind you that the members of the election committees from the pro-Serbian and pro-Russian Democratic Front stole election materials today, as well as on October 23.
The Municipal Committee of DPS Šavnik submitted criminal charges to the competent state prosecutor against the members of the electoral committees who prevented the election process in the Municipality of Šavnik today.
"In order to protect democracy in Montenegro, we expect that those persons who prevented voters from voting, destroyed and alienated ballots, and physically assaulted citizens who wanted to exercise their right to vote, and committed other criminal acts, will answer to the competent authorities." they state in the statement.
As they point out, for this reason they hope for a quick and professional reaction of the competent prosecutor, so that all perpetrators are adequately sanctioned.
"But how would this circus, inspired by the leaders of the DF and the Democrats and carried out by their members, stop in the finals," the announcement concludes.
In Šavnik, the presence of the police has noticeably increased, and catering establishments are closed.
