📜 Criminalize

The director of the "25 Maj" Mixed Secondary School, Sehad Ljuljanaj, has resigned, citing personal and moral reasons, following days of student protests over a teacher's dismissal. This development brings a resolution to a period of unrest within the educational institution. In political news, the Democratic Party (BS) has proposed a legislative amendment to criminalize the glorification of convicted war criminals. This initiative comes as reports indicate that the Montenegrin prosecution has yet to act on such cases, despite existing legal grounds. Meanwhile, the parliamentary situation surrounding the potential dismissal of Andrija Mandić, the President of the Parliament, remains uncertain due to a lack of quorum. Further domestic developments include the government's establishment of a new Agency for Digital Health, outlining its functions to enhance healthcare services. Additionally, authorities have identified irregularities at the 'Zbrojovka' complex following a fatal incident, prompting an ongoing investigation.
