Montenegro is in the middle of a fierce battle to build a professional and responsible police force, and Vice Prime Minister Aleksa Bečić is not holding back! Three more police officers have been suspended, and contracts with two soldiers terminated due to identified security concerns. The Ethics Committee uncovered violations of the police ethics code by 67 officers, and Bečić declares that the time for silence and complicity in obstructing justice is over.
“Anyone trying to stop reforms is trying to preserve a system where power means fear and loyalty to clans, not the law. That won’t fly!” Bečić said, urging honorable police officers not to stay silent but to speak up and act. Justice demands accountability, and Montenegro has decided to change its institutions, whether some like it or not.
This isn’t just a story about suspended police and soldiers; it’s a deep institutional crisis and a fight against corruption and a clan system that has suffocated justice for years. The Ethics Committee’s findings are clear and demand immediate action, and Bečić won’t tolerate excuses. If the code is broken, there’s no room for silence or hiding in drawers – that’s complicity in obstructing justice.
This move is part of a broader vetting and reform process aimed at building a professional police and military in Montenegro. Bečić makes it clear that justice will be served and those responsible held accountable. If you think this is just another political show, think again – the time for change is now, and it won’t stop until the old system based on fear and clan loyalty is dismantled.
