Montenegrin officials are demanding institutional accountability following allegations of security destabilization. Prime Minister Milojko Spajić has claimed there are coordinated efforts to destabilize the country, ~~allegedly involving officials from at least two neighboring nations.~~ particularly as it approaches the closing of new negotiation chapters with the European Union. In response, President Jakov Milatović called for an emergency session of the Council for Defense and Security, which was postponed pending a meeting of the National Security Council. While the Prime Minister has not named specific countries, regional speculation has linked the claims to Serbia and Albania, though Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has denied involvement. Following these claims, Todor Goranović, a security advisor to the Prime Minister, clarified that the statements were intended to warn potential actors and communicate Montenegro’s intention to join the European Union, rather than to accuse a specific state or declare an emergency. Goranović cited the National Security Agency to affirm that such activities are occurring, though he did not confirm or deny the existence of specific operational data. The government’s handling of the situation has drawn criticism from opposition figures. Nikola Zirojević of the European Alliance questioned why the National Security Council has not met in over a year, calling for a formal strategy against hybrid threats and identifying Serbia as a state engaging in such actions. In contrast, Slađana Kaluđerović of the SNP argued that the opposition itself is the force attempting to destabilize the government and jeopardize the nation’s European integration.
