A court in Montana has overturned a lower court’s decision to remove the mayor of Lom from office. The ruling by the Montana Regional Court is final and not subject to further appeal, according to the Bulgarian Telegraph Agency (BTA). The court also rejected a request from the prosecution to prevent the mayor, Cvetan Petrov, from fulfilling his duties. The initial removal decision from the Lom court is now deemed unlawful. Details surrounding the original reasons for the mayor’s attempted removal have not been widely released. This decision restores Petrov to his position as mayor of Lom. The case highlights a conflict between the local Lom court and the regional court in Montana regarding the mayor’s status.
