🏛️ Speaker

Andrija Mandic will remain Speaker of the Assembly after a third attempt to remove him failed on the floor. The opposition Democratic Party of Socialists framed their latest challenge as a critique of ideology rather than a personal judgment of the man, a distinction that did not help them find the necessary votes. With the matter settled for now, MPs moved on to debating constitutional amendments required for the country's bid to join the European Union. The Special Police Unit has questioned politician Slaven Radunovic regarding the validity of a government housing project in Velji Brdo. Elsewhere, the economic outlook remains pressured; inflation is now higher than in 90 percent of the EU and the Eurozone. From November, the diplomatic distance will also grow, as Russia announced that Montenegrin citizens will require visas for entry. Parliament also intervened in a local naming dispute by amending the sports law to remove the name Gopcevic from a swimming pool in Kotor. Meanwhile, the opposition has proposed that the capital provide subsidies of up to 5,000 euros for in-vitro fertilization treatments.
