🛂 Border

Montenegrin authorities have made significant arrests today, including the president of the Police Administration Union, Mladen Šuškavčević, on suspicion of abuse of office. Another individual was also arrested in connection with an investigation into apartments and money, pointing to ongoing efforts against corruption and illicit dealings. In the judiciary, the main hearing for businessman Aco Đukanović was postponed after the presiding judge reportedly expressed a negative opinion towards the defendant. Meanwhile, the political landscape sees the URA party yet to declare its stance on proposed constitutional amendments aimed at ensuring the integrity of future government members, creating a legislative impasse. On a positive note for international relations, Montenegro is poised to potentially close three additional negotiation chapters in its bid for European Union membership today, marking a concrete advancement in its accession process.
