VETTING IN MONTENEGRIN POLICE: Nearly 100 Suspended, but Almost No Prosecutions! Joke or Tragedy? While the public praises the fight against corruption and crime in the police, the reality is far from a fairy tale. Nikola Zirojević, an SDA MP and European Union representative, openly claims that during the so-called vetting process, nearly 100 police officers were suspended, but almost none have been prosecuted. Is this just a show for the public or a real problem being ignored?
Meanwhile, a special police unit is arresting an active head of a security department, accusing him of creating a criminal organization. Is this the start of a real crackdown or just a drop in the ocean of problems?
This chaos in the police casts a shadow over the entire institution and raises the question – who really controls the police? Is vetting just another bureaucratic process with no real results?
If you think this is only a Montenegrin problem, think again. Similar stories of inefficiency and corruption in the police are seen across the region. But Montenegro is in the spotlight because promises of reforms sound emptier by the day.
If you have your own take on this mess, feel free to share it. Maybe it’s time we all ask ourselves – who do we trust when even the police can’t clean up their own mess?
