A significant shift in the country's political landscape has emerged as Prime Minister Milojko Spajić and his Europe Now! (PES) party have explicitly stated their opposition to the initiative seeking to dismiss Parliament President Andrija Mandić. This development comes amidst ongoing scrutiny of Mandić and an analysis indicating that while 33 MPs support his removal, they currently lack the necessary votes for a quorum. Beyond the political arena, the government has announced urgent plans for the reconstruction of the nation's airport, signaling a major infrastructure initiative. Meanwhile, wildfires continue to burn in multiple locations, particularly in Nikšić, with emergency services actively engaged on several fronts to combat the blazes. In a positive turn, the national water polo team, the 'Sharks,' is poised to compete for a gold medal against Italy, generating national excitement. Separately, recent court rulings have dismissed accusations against police officials concerning involvement in criminal organizations and the leaking of secret data, concluding a high-profile legal matter.
