Parliament President Faces No-Confidence Vote Amid Murder Probe

Montenegro's political scene is facing renewed turbulence as the Bosniak Party publicly declared its support for a motion of no confidence against Parliament President Andrija Mandić. This move escalates the scrutiny Mandić has been under following his controversial comments regarding Ratko Mladić, which have sparked widespread condemnation and concerns about the country's European integration path.

Meanwhile, investigators are continuing to piece together the events surrounding the recent triple murder that led to national mourning. New information indicates authorities are examining the suspect's movements, linking evidence from tents in Zeta to a shooting range massacre, as they seek to determine the motive behind the tragic incident.

In other significant developments, a business court has blocked the takeover of Daily Press, the publisher of Vijesti newspapers and portals, in a decision described as 'Vučić 2:0'. Additionally, the University's Administrative Board has initiated the procedure to elect a rector for the 2027-2030 period, marking the beginning of a new academic leadership contest.
