Montenegro has secured a substantial grant of €147.4 million from the EBRD for the construction of a key highway section, marking a significant step forward for the nation's infrastructure development. This positive financial news comes as the country also faces new scrutiny over how €251.2 million from its economic citizenship program, which concluded in late 2022, was allocated, with initial reports indicating investments in tourism and innovation sectors.
On the political front, Prime Minister Milojko Spajić, leader of the Europe Now! Movement, remains under pressure as Milan Knežević, president of the Democratic People's Party and a Member of Parliament, claims Spajić has failed to deny his accusations. This ongoing political friction underscores continued internal power dynamics.
Further developments include Montenegro confronting a new challenge in its European Union membership bid: the critical task of translating its laws to align with EU standards. Meanwhile, a court has overturned the dismissal of Biljana Knežević, an expert associate for aviation safety management, and law enforcement has arrested Uroš Ninković, identified as a member of the Kavač criminal clan.
