Montenegro political landscape faces stalemate ahead of 2026 elections

In the Bar municipality, MP Valentina Minić accused European Union representatives of evading basic security questions. She questioned how EU officials obtained confidential information about the police director’s protected vehicle, why police security details were publicly discussed, and demanded accountability from both domestic and EU actors regarding alleged threats and monitoring of protected persons.
