Notes

  1. ↑ At the 2016 local elections in Budva and Kotor, the opposition originally won a majority, but during 2019 and 2020, the ruling DPS regained power in both municipalities, after a couple of councilors changed sides and formed a majority with DPS, which many saw as an act of political corruption of ruling party. In both cases, DPS return to power was accompanied by arrests, police brutality and violence against removed local government officials and its supporters.
  2. ↑ The "Party for Gusinje", which won 6 seats at the 2016 local elections in Gusinje, merged into Democratic Party of Socialists in 2019.
  3. ↑ Members of local DF, SNP and DCG, as well of some Tivat localist parties, such as the Tivat Action and Arsenal for Tivat, which decided to run independently, due to opposition boycott of 2020 Tivat local elections.
