📅 Waitlist

The Protector of Human Rights and Freedoms has determined a violation of a citizen's right to a decision within a reasonable time and the right to an answer, after they waited over a year for social assistance from the Ministry of Social Welfare. This highlights a significant administrative failing in the delivery of social support. In other developments, an EU official stated that the goal is to sign the accession agreement with Montenegro in June, providing a new target for the country's EU integration efforts. Prime Minister Milojko Spajić is scheduled to address members of parliament today, where he will answer questions on topics including inflation, pensions, and relations with neighboring Croatia. Official Saičić affirmed that the formation of the government will not be prolonged and that illegally acquired property will be confiscated, addressing ongoing political and legal processes. Meanwhile, Croatian MEP Sunčana Glavak has proposed linking various outstanding issues with Croatia, such as compensation for former Morinj camp prisoners and the handover of the 'Jadran' ship, to the finalization of Montenegro's EU membership.
