The passing of the Mayor of the Municipality of Bërvenica, Jovica Ilievski, has triggered specific administrative protocols outlined by North Macedonian law to ensure the continuity of local governance. Following this significant loss, the legal framework dictates immediate steps to prevent any disruption to institutional processes within the municipality. To maintain administrative functionality, the Municipal Council of Bërvenica must convene an extraordinary session immediately after the conclusion of the official days of mourning.
According to the Law on Local Self-Government, the councilors are legally obligated to meet to address the vacancy left by the former mayor. During this session, the municipal councilors must vote by majority consensus to elect an acting mayor. This appointed individual will assume temporary leadership of the municipality.
The primary objective of this action is to guarantee that essential public services, the payment of administrative salaries, and the execution of ongoing local projects continue without interruption. The establishment of an acting mayor is a critical measure designed to uphold the operational integrity of the local government structure. The procedural steps are designed to provide immediate stability, allowing the municipal administration to function effectively while the council determines the long-term succession plan for the office of the mayor.
These established protocols ensure that the necessary legal and administrative machinery remains engaged to serve the residents of Bërvenica.
