UPDATE: Montenegro is facing a severe accountability crisis, as new reports from the Civil Initiative “21. maj” reveal alarming insights into the country’s governance. Authorities confirm that individuals can escape house arrest without repercussions, while criminal activities proliferate unchecked.
The initiative states that despite the closing of chapters in Montenegro’s EU accession process, the situation in the country is deteriorating. “You can escape from house arrest, and no one in the police will be held accountable,” the statement emphasizes. This urgent allegation raises critical concerns about law enforcement’s effectiveness and the broader implications for public safety.
In a shocking claim, the initiative highlights that individuals involved in organized crime and narcotics trafficking face little to no consequences. Furthermore, it reports that a multi-million euro software project has rendered the company register dysfunctional, plunging the economy into administrative chaos without accountability from the government or tax authorities.
“Under the current regime, accountability is non-existent,” they assert, pointing to a Prime Minister who seems more hidden from public view than actively governing. The statement critiques the political leadership, describing the President of Montenegro as becoming a caricature of his former self, further eroding public trust.
The Civil Initiative warns that citizens are left in a state of despair, “You can wait for essential health examinations for months and die before receiving care, but no one will be held responsible.” This highlights the urgent need for systemic reform in a country grappling with ineffective governance.
Montenegro’s political landscape is characterized by a “manipulated and selfish electorate,” according to the initiative, which calls for a reassessment of the responsibilities borne by both leaders and citizens. The lack of accountability has turned the nation into a “deformed and depressed state,” they argue, underscoring the dire need for change.
As this situation develops, citizens and international observers alike are watching closely. What happens next could determine the future of governance in Montenegro. The Civil Initiative “21. maj” urges citizens to demand accountability from their leaders now more than ever.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds.
