Judita Popović, member of REM, evaluated in Novi Dan that the arrival of Olivera Zekić to the position of chairman of the REM council “was not an election, but a coup” that was carried out “on her own initiative, by a group of the Council “. “It cannot be legal, it cannot be legal,” he said.

He claims that another candidate was nominated, as well as that another candidate was proposed, but, he adds, “they wanted to finish the job, and that was a blow.”

“It is the takeover of the REM Council by the majority, but not by all the members of the Council, and we must be equal. They put us in front of a final act. It was obvious that they wanted to finish the job very quickly. It’s also obvious that “They were expecting some resistance from us. So they rushed, and it was pretty sloppy and careless. They didn’t know how to cope right now. They put that ‘miscellaneous’ item as the first item, and completely failed to set the agenda, “he said. it’s Popovic.

He adds that everything was done quickly to avoid discussions about the election of Zekić as president.

“We proposed Visnja Arandjelovic, who was not present, saying that they would have to postpone that decision. However, they reviewed our proposal, and there was no discussion on whether we would do a session on that point or not. That’s. “We had one proposal, and the other was not even raised. All of that was done quickly and that is why I say it was a blow,” Popovic emphasizes.

Commenting on the claim of Olivera Zekić, who stated that he proposed her for the presidency, he says that it was done to make a “joke”, since the group of members was explicit not to continue the election procedure of the president of the Council in those circumstances .

“When she proposed to me, I realized it was completely frivolous, but I said ‘OK’, I’ll think about it and I need time for that. It’s frivolous to nominate candidates that way. We didn’t know.” It will be proposed, otherwise we would have addressed the session very differently. The session was scheduled for Friday to Monday, which is a very short time. It’s obvious that they were scared about it, “Popovic said.

It points out that it is necessary for there to be independent members on the EMN Council to be witnesses to the events in that body, as well as that it would not be possible to do so if these members are outside of it.

“I cannot resign. I cannot give up. I am a lawyer, I am defending my views. I have learned to ‘get to the line,’ and that the truth deserves that fight and my commitment,” Popovic said.
