📂 Evidence

A long-running argument over the 1990s has returned to the fore as the former president, Milo Đukanović, dismissed accusations of involvement in the Srebrenica genocide as nationalist fabrications. The Speaker of Parliament, Andrija Mandić, says he has the evidence to prove otherwise, though he declined to produce it during a vote on constitutional amendments so as not to spoil the mood. Those amendments include a new integrity check for anyone wishing to join the government. Former officials may also find their past perks under scrutiny; a proposed law would require them to pay tax on the market value of any apartments they were gifted during their time in office. The European Council has offered a polite nod to the country's accession progress, though the final chapters of the negotiation remain open. Elsewhere, police in Nikšić seized six weapons following a report of domestic violence, and a motorcyclist was killed in an accident on Košljun.
