Montenegro inquiry into 2006 Eagle Flight operation
Overview
The Montenegrin government has signaled support for a parliamentary inquiry into the 2006 ‘Eagle Flight’ (Orlov let) operation. A proposal submitted by 38 MPs from various ruling parties seeks to investigate the conduct of state authorities during the operation, which occurred on September 9, 2006, just prior to Montenegro’s first parliamentary elections following independence.
The investigation aims to determine responsibility for actions or omissions, specifically regarding the treatment of members of the Albanian community. During the original 2006 operation, 17 suspects were arrested for alleged terrorist activities in Tuzla and Maleševo; all were subsequently convicted and received prison sentences totaling 51 years. The proposed investigative committee is expected to submit its report to the Assembly within 90 days, with a potential 15-day extension.
