Sources: 6. Developments: 2. The Constitutional Court of Montenegro is managing various legal challenges and procedural updates. In a specific criminal matter, the Court rejected a constitutional appeal by Darko Janjić, who had been convicted in a SKY ECC-related case. The Court ruled that Janjić had not exhausted all legal remedies, specifically noting that the Supreme Court must first rule on the admissibility and evidentiary strength of the SKY ECC communications. Defense counsel criticized this decision as a “stunning example of superficial and unacceptable conduct,” arguing that the Supreme Court had already rejected the appeal. Separately, Court President Snežana Armenko has proposed new rules of procedure to increase transparency by making individual judges' votes and rapporteur assignments public. Armenko also noted a decrease in average proceeding durations and highlighted pending reviews regarding the constitutionality of a Montenegro-UAE international agreement and mandatory vaccination policies. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-11: Constitutional Court of Montenegro proposes new transparency rules Montenegro's Constitutional Court President Snežana Armenko has proposed new rules to increase judicial transparency regarding voting and rapporteurs, while outlining timelines for key rulings. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/constitutional-court-of-montenegro-proposes-new-transparency-rules ### 2026-09-09: Constitutional Court of Montenegro rejects Darko Janjić's appeal Montenegro's Constitutional Court rejected Darko Janjić's appeal regarding his SKY ECC conviction, ruling he must first exhaust remedies through the Supreme Court despite defense claims of procedural errors. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/constitutional-court-of-montenegro-rejects-darko-janjis-appeal --- Cite as: Montenegro Constitutional Court legal proceedings.
