Montenegro has achieved a significant milestone by securing a 30 million Euro European grant to establish a Center of Excellence for Advanced Research, with a focus on environmental protection. This development marks a notable step forward for the country's scientific community and its commitment to ecological preservation. On the political front, new disputes have surfaced, including accusations of an official spreading national intolerance and calls for action. Public spaces in Rožaje saw messages of 'POLITICAL REVENGE,' prompting local figure Kalač to criticize several prominent politicians, including Ervin Ibrahimović, Mirsad Azemović, and Andrija Mandić. Former President Milo Đukanović also alleged that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is working to bolster Milan Knežević's voter base to increase his own influence in Montenegro. Legally, a proposed law on confiscating property gained through criminal activity is under scrutiny for introducing the possibility of permanent confiscation without a prior conviction. Additionally, a case has been initiated against Dragan Radonjić, the former head of the Special Police Unit. The Constitutional Committee has agreed on five amendments to the Constitution, with ongoing discussions with European partners for finalization.
