⚙️ Quorum

Montenegro faces a pivotal day as a vote on the dismissal of Parliament President Andrija Mandić is scheduled, with political circles keenly watching whether a sufficient quorum of MPs will be present to proceed. This third attempt to remove Mandić follows growing support for the motion, but concerns about parliamentary attendance persist, highlighting ongoing political maneuvering and potential gridlock. Adding to the political tensions, the country has confirmed a definite delay in closing key EU accession chapters 18 and 19 this September, marking a setback in its European integration aspirations. This comes even as President Jakov Milatović addressed the UN, emphasizing Montenegro's commitment to finalizing its European path and aiming for EU membership by 2028. Economically, municipalities are reportedly struggling financially, leading to layoffs in the private sector and indicating a broader downturn. Further economic concerns include a six-million-euro drop in customs revenue from fuel sales over the summer, while the Pljevlja thermal power plant is highlighted as a crucial element for the nation's energy stability.
