Dragovan Milinkovi\u0107, president of the Ivanjica Municipal Assembly and a member of the<\/em><\/strong> Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS)<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, has resigned, opposition New Face of Serbia councillor Ivan Jovi\u0107evi\u0107 told the Beta news agency on Thursday evening.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said he had received the information from an employee at the municipal registry office, where the resignation of the Ivanjica Assembly president was officially recorded today, shortly before the end of working hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom the very first day, we have insisted that the election result is not merely a number of votes, but a clear message from citizens and a demand for political accountability,\u201d Jovi\u0107evi\u0107 told Beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He argued that political positions are not \u201canyone\u2019s personal property\u201d and that \u201cthe resignation of the Assembly president is not enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA local assembly session has been scheduled in Ivanjica for tomorrow (Friday), at which a debate should begin on the confidence in the other municipal officials and their accountability,\u201d Jovi\u0107evi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the opposition had unofficially learned that the ruling majority in Ivanjica was considering the possibility of avoiding the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, \u201cif they are prepared to take responsibility, they should attend the session and face the councillors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAccountability cannot be selective. One person cannot resign while everyone else behaves as if nothing has happened,\u201d Jovi\u0107evi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five days ago, opposition councillors in the Ivanjica Municipal Assembly, who make up one-third of its membership, submitted a request for the dismissal of the entire municipal leadership. They argued that, \u201cfollowing the results of the parliamentary elections in Serbia, the question of the local government\u2019s political legitimacy has become unavoidable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ivanjica Municipal Assembly session is scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, November 13, at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
