Political figures and regulatory bodies in Montenegro have raised concerns regarding the integrity of the upcoming 2027 election cycle.

Aleksa Bečić, president of the Democrats party, warned that organized crime groups are attempting to demotivate voters by fostering dissatisfaction and apathy to prevent citizens from participating in elections. He suggested that those opposing anti-mafia laws and institutional vetting processes are attempting to hinder reforms.

Concurrently, the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (ASK) issued a warning regarding regulatory gaps in the current legal framework. The agency noted that a lack of distinction between regular political activity and pre-election campaigning allows for activities that may undermine public trust and create an unequal playing field before formal campaign financing rules take effect.
