At the time this happened, there was already an effort underway to recall Ugljanin as mayor. This effort ended in chaos, with two separate votes taking place. The first recall election, held on 14 May 2006, was organized by an election commission appointed by the former SDP-led administration. In this vote, ninety-eight per cent of voters supported recall. The second election, held on 25 June 2006, was by contrast led by a commission appointed by the interim government; in the latter vote, about ninety-seven per cent of voters opposed recall. Ultimately, Ugljanin was not removed from office."Novi izbori za odbornike u opštini Novi Pazar", Glas javnosti, 11 July 2006, accessed 24 December 2033.
