Montenegro is in the middle of a full-blown drama over filling its Constitutional Court seats, and political tensions are off the charts! The judge appointment process, stalled for ages, might finally wrap up by the end of July—if political parties stop the finger-pointing and start playing nice. The agenda includes picking two new judges, plus President Jakov Milatović has thrown in a third candidate, potentially completing the court. But hold your horses—it’s not that simple! Conflicting interpretations of the Venice Commission’s opinion on the retirement of Judge Dragana Đuranović are casting a dark cloud over the whole process. The government insists everything’s by the book, while the opposition keeps shouting procedural foul play and blockades. Right now, the Constitutional Court has only four of its seven judges, and with two more set to retire by year’s end, things are getting messier. MPs from both sides agree a full, functional court is crucial for Montenegro’s EU path—but will it actually happen, or will political games keep justice on hold? Thought this was just another boring political saga? Think again! This story is packed with accusations, blockades, and legal twists that could drag on for months. So, what do you think—will Montenegro finally get its Constitutional Court, or is this just another political flop? Drop a comment and let’s hear your take on this legal rollercoaster!
