Montenegro Prime Minister Spajic strongly condemned the physical attack on Budva Mayor Nikola Jovanovic and said he expects an immediate response from the relevant authorities.

Spajic expressed that these are troubling situations and that everyone must do their utmost to create a society where political differences are resolved through dialogue, not violence.

Montenegro President Jakov Milatovic stated that the news of the physical attack on Budva Mayor Nikola Jovanovic this morning deeply concerned him.

He condemned all forms of violence and expressed hope that competent authorities will quickly clarify the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice. "No one has the right to resort to violence to threaten the democratic order and security of Montenegro's citizens. In a country where laws apply equally to everyone, violence cannot and must not be a normal occurrence. There are no exceptions or protected exceptions," Milatovic said.
