Montenegro administrative and legal disputes

Legal disputes have emerged involving public officials and state institutions in Montenegro.

In the Employment Agency of Montenegro, union leader Đorđe Bojanić filed a criminal complaint against director David Perčobić. Bojanić alleges that Perčobić abused his position by reassigning him from an independent advisor role to a call center operator position without consent. The union representative claims this move is a degrading demotion and a form of systematic persecution intended to pressure the union following inquiries into management irregularities.

In Mojkovac, a dispute has arisen regarding the municipality’s leadership. Following an Appellate Court verdict finding Mayor Vesko Delić guilty of abuse of official position related to appointments made in 2022, the Ministry of Public Administration proposed appointing a commissioner to manage municipal duties. The Ministry asserts that Delić’s mandate has legally terminated, while Delić has filed a constitutional appeal seeking a review of the convictions.
