New, stricter fines for traffic violations, including increased penalties for speeding and drunk driving, have come into effect today, with the Minister of Internal Affairs, Danilo Šaranović, emphasizing these measures for greater road safety. This comes as companies also face drastic new penalties, up to 40 million euros, for severe criminal offenses.
The political landscape is heating up with Milan Knežević, leader of the Democratic People's Party, announcing the impending release of documents intended to destabilize Prime Minister Milojko Spajić. Meanwhile, the United States has formally requested the extradition of an Iranian hacker recently apprehended in Montenegro.
On a brighter note, the Montenegrin women's national team, known as the 'Lionesses,' has advanced to the semifinals of a World Championship. Other developments include a scheduled traffic suspension over the Đurđevića Tara bridge, and the EU Delegation clarifying that Montenegro is not part of a migrant center initiative.
