📜 Summons

Montenegro's Higher Court is reportedly preparing to issue summonses to former officials, including former President Milo Đukanović, as part of the ongoing 'Telekom' case, signaling intensified legal scrutiny into past government activities. This development coincides with the Higher Court dismissing an indictment in another data disclosure case due to a lack of criminal liability. Public order was maintained in Podgorica as police prevented a gathering in honor of Ratko Mladic, detaining 13 individuals. This action was followed by strong condemnations from President Jakov Milatović and Milosava Paunović, who emphasized that glorifying war criminals is incompatible with European values and respect for one's own nation. Meanwhile, the Constitutional Court has begun discussions on amending its rules of procedure, with questions raised regarding transparency. In other news, the URA party's main board adopted an economic package aimed at improving living standards, including proposed increases in pensions and salaries. A Turkish citizen was arrested in Kotor based on an Interpol warrant for suspected child sexual assault, and an army helicopter successfully doused a fire to rescue a hunting ground manager from a dangerous area.
