Citizen's Initiative SDP leader, Oliver Ivanović, informed the general public with regard to information that almost all its local councilors have left this party and joined the ranks of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), that they were not officially notified about this yet.

CI SDP also informed that local councilors should be aware that according to the law, they are supposed to inform the municipal assembly of North Mitrovica about their transfer to another party, and that CI SDP expects them to return their mandates to the Initiative, as stipulated by the statute of the CI SDP.
