UPDATE: Jovana Todorović, spokesperson for the Democratic People’s Party (DNP), has urgently called on Prime Minister Milojko Spajić and Podgorica Mayor Saša Mujović to shift their focus to Pljevlja in light of a growing ecological crisis. Her remarks come in response to a statement from the Movement Europe Now (PES), which claimed that the DNP is opposing the construction of a sewage collector in Zeta.
In a striking statement, Todorović accused Mujović of political irresponsibility and arrogance. She emphasized that the recent referendum in Zeta exposed the disconnect between local leaders and the citizens they serve. “The referendum was a demonstration of solidarity and courage from the people, revealing the panic among officials regarding their previous commitments,” she stated.
The situation in Pljevlja is dire, according to Todorović, who described alarming health risks due to institutional neglect. “People are being poisoned, and children are ending up on respirators,” she said. This urgent health crisis is compounded by the local government’s apparent failure to act, while PES officials continue to issue statements undermining the citizens’ concerns.
“Instead of addressing the health and safety of the people, you have aligned yourselves with suspicious projects,” Todorović asserted, highlighting the need for immediate action. She urged Spajić and Mujović to demonstrate their commitment to public welfare by prioritizing the health of Pljevlja’s residents over political interests.
The DNP spokesperson further criticized the ongoing political maneuvering, stating that citizens had delivered a clear message about their dissatisfaction with local governance. “The recent referendum turnout was a clear indicator of the people’s stance against the current administration,” she said, adding that the government’s attempts to undermine the referendum were met with overwhelming public support.
As tensions rise, Todorović warned of the potential consequences if leaders fail to act promptly. “In the coming days, citizens will see just how much their lives matter to Spajić, Mujović, and PES,” she cautioned, emphasizing that the government’s inaction could lead to further tragedies in Pljevlja.
With public health and safety at stake, the call for immediate attention to the ecological situation is becoming increasingly urgent. Citizens are left wondering whether their leaders will prioritize their health and well-being or continue to focus on political power plays.
As this situation develops, the urgency for action in Pljevlja cannot be overstated. The community is watching closely, ready to respond to their leaders’ next moves.
