🏛️ Dismissal

A political storm is brewing as the initiative to remove Parliament President Andrija Mandić moves forward. Former Minister of Justice Andrej Milović has stated that the parliamentary majority cannot avoid a discussion on the matter, while the Bosniak Party has publicly declared its support for Mandić's dismissal. This development follows a criminal charge filed in Nikšić for honoring war criminal Ratko Mladić, a controversy that has fueled calls for Mandić's removal. In other significant domestic news, an investigation into 22 cases of usury involving citizens and businesses has been launched by specialized police units. Separately, the Capital City of Podgorica is facing allegations of financial misconduct, with reports claiming a tender was issued for books that do not exist, and the city supposedly paid for these non-existent items. Meanwhile, Montenegro continues its path towards EU accession, with discussions on unresolved issues with neighbors and an NGO noting the country's proximity to membership but questioning its democratic maturity. On the economic front, details emerged regarding the cost of legalizing illegal buildings in Podgorica, and a Montenegrin company, 'Voli - Naša farma', is highlighted as the first significant investor in six years.
