The Special Prosecutor's Office has intensified its efforts to permanently confiscate a wide array of properties and luxury vehicles belonging to alleged crime leaders Radoje Zvicer and Milan Vujotić. The targeted assets, including residential buildings, apartments, business premises, and armored vehicles, span multiple municipalities and are suspected of being acquired through criminal activities. Meanwhile, a local political dispute in Kotor over changing the name of a swimming pool has been put on hold, as Mayor Vladimir Jokić announced that there is no parliamentary majority for such a decision. In more positive economic news, the World Bank has increased Montenegro's economic growth forecast to 3.3 percent. Other domestic developments include national airline ToMontenegro being awarded five new air routes, and CKB bank becoming the first in the country to enable online account opening. However, excavation work for a new hospital in Pljevlja has caused cracks in nearby buildings, forcing residents to evacuate and prompting an inspection to halt construction.
