Montenegrin security services have expelled the alleged leaders of the Russian 'Rybar' propaganda network, Mihail and Valerija Zvinčuk, along with three associates, following their detention in Risno. Authorities seized drones, cameras, and phones, with the individuals claiming they were in Montenegro to film the Cetinje Monastery. Reports also indicate that Mihail Zvinčuk had visited Bosnia and Serbia before his apprehension in Montenegro.
In other significant domestic news, the statute of limitations for the prison sentence of former President of Serbia and Montenegro, Svetozar Marović, has fully expired as of today. Separately, Branislav Nenezić, a Social Democratic Member of Parliament and President of the Municipal Assembly of Bar, announced that the Administrative Court overturned a decision by the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (ASK) that he claimed was politically motivated.
Looking ahead, the European Union Council's agenda has confirmed that Montenegro is expected to close negotiations on two chapters of its EU accession process on Monday. Meanwhile, differing views persist between Montenegrin and Croatian sides regarding the ownership of the school ship 'Jadran', with both expecting a resolution based on arguments. Politically, Milan Knežević, President of the Democratic People's Party, claimed that Andrija Mandić, President of the Parliament of Montenegro, is aware some of his partners would vote for his removal.
