Legal Chaos Over the 13th July Award: Hajdukovic and Marunovic Expose the Scandal!
Did you know that a real drama is unfolding in Montenegro over one of the most important state awards? This is not just a scandal, but a full-blown legal farce casting a shadow over institutions and legislation!
Hajdukovic Takes a Direct Shot at Mandic
Scientist Dragan Hajdukovic couldn’t stay silent! After the jury awarded the 13th July Prize, he sent an open letter to the President of the Montenegrin Parliament, Andrija Mandic, which is a real bombshell. Hajdukovic claims the award decision is illegal and that the jury grossly violated Article 17 of the State Awards Law.
“Being the President of the Parliament is a great honor and responsibility, but you, Mr. Mandic, are not a knight of democracy and respect for the law,” writes Hajdukovic. He urges Mandic not to be an accomplice in breaking the law and to respect the legal framework, regardless of political pressures and conflicts.
Marunovic: The Jury Already Pointed Out Legal Violations at the First Session!
To make matters worse, director and jury member Danilo Marunovic pointed out inconsistencies in the State Awards Law at the very first session. He noted that the criteria for awarding the prize are unclear and could lead to doubts about the legitimacy of the winners. Marunovic even dissented from the decision due to these issues, which is rare in such bodies.
The Montenegrin Lawyers Association also warned that all three awards this year were given to the same field, which violates the rules and could lead to the degradation of the state recognition.
What’s Behind the Scenes?
It’s clear the jury made serious mistakes, and political structures don’t want to face the consequences. Hajdukovic and Marunovic are voices of reason in this chaos, but will their appeals be heard?
This situation casts a shadow on Montenegro’s reputation and its institutions. How can we expect respect for the law when the most important state awards are given outside the rules?
Conclusion: Where is Justice?
While politicians bicker, the law remains on paper, and the state loses credibility. Hajdukovic and Marunovic have made it clear — respect for the law must come first!
What do you think about this legal chaos? Is it time for someone to finally address this problem, or will we keep watching justice being trampled? Drop a comment, let your voice be part of this legal soap opera!
