Seven municipalities increased expenditure and spent 6.3 million in election
Seven Montenegrin municipalities, in which almost 60 percent of the electorate of Montenegro votes, during the three election months of 2016, invested in local infrastructure three times more than in the first six and a half months of 2016, which were non-election months.
The Municipalities of Podgorica, Herceg Novi, Kotor, Tivat, Pljevlja and Cetinje spent around €6.3 million for the local construction works in the pre-election period, as opposed to €4.5 million, which was the sum spent in the first six and a half months of 2016.
The Capital Podgorica spent €3.27 million in the election period for the local infrastructure or, on average, about one million euros per month. In six and a half non-election months the Capital spent roughly the same amount, i.e. €3.28 million, but an average monthly expenditure was half a million, so it follows that the expenditure doubled during the election campaign.
Municipality of Herceg Novi spent €804,000 during the election period for the local infrastructure, or an average of €268,000 per month, while in the non-election part of the year, it spent €240,000 or €37,000 per month, which means that the expenditure grew sevenfold.
