The current blockade of key institutions in Montenegro has largely limited the results of the new government in the fight against corruption.
The formation of the Government of Montenegro promised a ruthless fight against corruption, but, unfortunately, in the current moment of the institutional blockade, it is difficult to conclude whether the government can implement its announcements from a year ago.
