Montenegro has seen a new law on weapons and ammunition come into effect, establishing updated regulations for the procurement, possession, carrying, and trade of firearms. This significant legal change also includes new rules for cross-border movement of weapons.
The political landscape is marked by a fresh dispute as the Cabinet of President Jakov Milatović has refuted claims made by Member of Parliament Milan Knežević, who alleged that the President was aware of Prime Minister Milojko Spajić's supposed registration in the Serbian Army. Meanwhile, in Mojkovac, Mayor Vesko Delić remains in office despite a confirmed suspended sentence for abuse of official position, with the Ministry of Public Administration assessing that his mandate has ended by force of law and recommending the local parliament to act.
Adding to the day's events, new fires have erupted near Herceg Novi, leading to power outages in the Bijela area, and multiple active fires are being reported across various municipalities, including Cetinje, Danilovgrad, Nikšić, and Kolašin. On a positive note, Montenegro's strategic alliance with the United States is being actively converted into development projects, focusing on enhancing border control and modernizing related infrastructure.
