Montenegro's Delayed Military Pact with Ukraine: A Nation Divided?Podgorica, Montenegro – A planned military agreement between Montenegro and Ukraine, initially scheduled for mid-May, remains unsigned, creating political tension. The delay has sparked debate, with the ruling party and opposition expressing differing views on the agreement's merits and implications. "The delay is causing confusion," said Mihailo Anbušić, a member of the ruling DPS party, in a recent interview. "There's a lack of clarity on the agreement's specifics and its potential impact on Montenegro's foreign policy."
