    Montenegro: Political Parties Back Mandić Despite War Criminal Ties

    Andrija Mandić, President of the Montenegrin Assembly, has once again asserted his dominance over the parliamentary majority, with the Movement for Changes (PES) supporting him despite having more representatives. This support comes despite Mandić's ties to Ratko Mladić, a convicted war criminal, raising concerns about the value positioning of the majority. Political groups like the European Union and the European Alliance criticize this move, questioning the commitment to antifascism and European values.
