Sources: 3. Developments: 2. Political leaders in Montenegro have raised concerns regarding proposed constitutional amendments aimed at implementing integrity checks for high-ranking officials. Ivan Vujović of the European Alliance warned that these checks could disqualify current leaders, specifically citing allegations of undisclosed or unconstitutional dual citizenship involving the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the Parliament. Vujović suggested such issues could leave officials vulnerable to foreign influence and noted that some figures are considered “persona non grata” within EU member states. Adding to these criticisms, the Party of European Progress (SEP) argued that the amendments lack clear definitions, criteria, and procedures. The SEP expressed concern that without a defined institutional authority or legal protections, the checks could become discretionary, potentially allowing a “repressive apparatus” to undermine political rights and citizen will. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-24: Montenegro: SEP criticizes proposed constitutional amendments The Party of European Progress criticizes proposed Montenegrin constitutional amendments, arguing they lack clear definitions for candidate integrity checks and could empower repressive institutions. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/montenegro-sep-criticizes-proposed-constitutional-amendments ### 2026-08-21: Montenegro: Vujović warns integrity checks could disqualify leaders Ivan Vujović warns that proposed constitutional integrity checks in Montenegro could disqualify current top leaders due to issues with dual citizenship and EU status. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/montenegro-vujovi-warns-integrity-checks-could-disqualify-leaders --- Cite as: Montenegro constitutional integrity amendment debate.
