A significant new development has emerged with Vučelić filing a report alleging that certain Members of Parliament were targeted with bribery offers, including money and property, to influence their vote on the dismissal of Parliament President Andrija Mandić. This accusation introduces serious questions about legislative integrity and the political process.
In other political news, the Montenegrin Parliament is set to discuss constitutional amendments at its first regular autumn session on October 9. The government also faces scrutiny over transparency, as the Ministry of Public Administration, led by Minister Marash Dukaj, has not provided consulting contracts to the Europe Now parliamentary club for two months. Meanwhile, a political figure has criticized a segment of the ruling elite for allegedly hindering Montenegro's integration process and shifting blame to Croatia.
On the economic front, new draft amendments to the Law on Consumer Loans will require banks to more thoroughly assess creditworthiness and offer relief measures for repayment problems. Diplomatically, President Jakov Milatović has extended an invitation to Pope Francis for a visit to Montenegro during his trip to the Holy See. The government also announced strong support from Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia for Montenegro's EU accession, with Deputy Prime Minister for Foreign and European Affairs Filip Ivanović stating that the government aims to conclude negotiations by mid-October.
