A significant political development sees Andrija Mandić, President of the Parliament of Montenegro and president of the New Serb Democracy (NSD), reportedly distancing himself and his party from Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić. This move signals a potential shift towards Montenegro making its own decisions and fostering a shared national identity.
This political realignment comes as a petition gains traction for the removal of a church from Mount Rumija, highlighting ongoing domestic social and religious discussions. Economically, Montenegro has spent 82.53 million euros from its capital budget in the first half of the year, with investments increasing by 61%. Concurrently, new traffic laws have seen immediate and rigorous enforcement, resulting in 48 arrests and over 1,300 violations in just 48 hours.
