The Draft Law on the National Security Agency could appear on today’s parliamentary agenda, despite the fact that civil society organizations warned during the summer that some of its provisions grossly violate human rights, after which it was withdrawn from procedure, only to be reinserted into the plan for the fourth session of the second regular (autumn) sitting.
Human Rights Action announced yesterday that, „taking into account the statements of Minister of Justice Bojan Božović that no law under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice would be adopted without the opinion of the European Commission“, they requested that the „Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of European Affairs publish the opinion of the European Commission on the Draft Law on the NSA and the Draft Law on Internal Affairs“.
- The public must be given insight into the compliance of draft laws with European standards, upon which the country’s accession to the EU directly depends, and which should be the primary general interest. Reintroducing the Draft Law on the NSA onto the agenda of a session whose content is not known in advance would constitute a serious breach of democratic culture. Laws affecting human rights must be adopted exclusively through an open, inclusive, and responsible process in order to ensure respect for international standards, Montenegro’s obligations to the EU, and international human rights bodies - HRA warned.
<h2>COMMITTEE REPORT</h2>
In the report of the Committee on Security and Defence on the consideration of the Draft Law on the National Security Agency, submitted to Parliament on December 24th, it is stated, among other things, that at the sessions of this parliamentary body held in July “it was noted that, in drafting the Draft Law, normative solutions used in the legislation of neighboring countries that have similarly refined the legal framework of their operations (partner services, NATO and EU member states) were taken into account“.
- It was also emphasized that, in drafting the proposed amendments, respect was ensured for human rights and freedoms established by the Constitution of Montenegro and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and that a balance was established between respect for individual human rights and the right of a democratic society to protect national security interests - the Committee report states, also noting that „the need to adopt the Law under an urgent procedure was highlighted“.
The Committee on Security also noted that „during the debate, discussion focused on the scope of powers of the Director of the National Security Agency envisaged by the proposal, as well as potential abuses of surveillance measures and related civil liberties“.
- The need to find compromise solutions between the protection of civil rights and individual privacy and the effective functioning of the NSA was emphasized. In this regard, the Government submitted eight amendments to this Draft Law, taking into account the remarks and suggestions of the participants in the session. These amendments became an integral part of the Draft, and Parliament, in accordance with Article 150, paragraph 3, does not vote on them separately - the document states.
However, HRA warned yesterday that reintroducing the Draft Law on the ANB onto the agenda, while its content remains unknown, would represent a serious violation of democratic culture.
- The president of the Parliament Andrija Mandić stated that the draft laws in this case were removed from the agenda in order to improve communication with the public and international partners. However, this draft law has not been communicated to the public, no public debate has been held, nor has the public been informed about the opinion of the European Commission. The same applies to the amendments to the Law on Internal Affairs, which, despite this, have meanwhile been pushed through two parliamentary committees. In such a non-transparent situation, it is easy for laws to be adopted that do not meet human rights protection standards, which Montenegro must accept prior to EU accession - HRA emphasized.
<h2>APPEALS WITHOUT RESPONSE</h2>
More than 20 non-governmental organizations pointed out that the Government’s eight amendments, submitted on July 29th, several hours after the session of the Committee on Security at which the Draft Law on the NSA was discussed, failed to resolve the issue of serious human rights violations. They called on Parliament to withdraw the draft from procedure.
- If such a law is adopted today, Montenegro will miss a crucial opportunity to establish a service that works in the interest of citizens rather than political elites - thereby further endangering the process of democratization, the rule of law, and European integration - the NGOs announced on July 31st.
They warned that the draft law was prepared in secrecy, without a public debate, without an analysis of its impact on human rights, and without harmonization with international treaties and the legal acquis of the European Union (EU).
- This is a picture of a government that merely seeks to appropriate the levers of power, viewing the secret police as one of the most important among them - civil society organizations stressed.
They warned that „the goal of the urgent adoption of this legal text is, before the statutory retirement deadline, to remove from service those employed during the former government, in order to bring in individuals loyal to the new authorities without public competition or professional testing, as well as to remove the NSA from the public procurement system“.
- Through this law, extremely broad powers are placed in the hands of a service that has never been substantively reformed, while the public has been deprived of full information about who has been held accountable and how for past abuses. There is an obvious intention to reduce space for civic oversight and to further transform the institution itself into a dangerous tool or weapon in the hands of politicians - civil activists were categorical.
They concluded that the Government had proposed „amendments that essentially maintain the status quo“.
European Commission spokesperson Guillaume Mercier told „Vijesti“ on July 29 that “the European Union expects Montenegro to provide appropriate clarifications regarding the purpose and scope of the proposed amendments to the Law on the National Security Agency, including enabling the European Commission to conduct a thorough analysis, before proceeding with the adoption process of that law.
- Any legislative or institutional change in this area must be carried out through a transparent and inclusive process of public consultations, with all measures being lawful, proportionate, clearly justified by specific needs, and aligned with the principles of democratic oversight and respect for fundamental rights - he said at the time.
However, a transparent and inclusive process of public consultations did not take place, and to this day the public has not been informed of the European Commission’s assessment of the Draft Law on the National Security Agency.

The „Secret Police“ as a tool of power for the ruling elites, instead of comprehensive reform

Vlada je danas poslala Skupštini prijedlog izmjena i dopuna Zakona o Agenciji za nacionalnu bezbjednost (ANB) kojim se predviđa uspostavljanje instituta specijalnog kontrolora, umjesto generalnog inspektora. Prema predlogu Vlade specijalnog kontrolora postavija i razrješava Vlada na predlog predsjednika Vlade.
Kako se navodi u prijedlogu izmjena zakona specijalni kontrolor podnosi direktoru Agencije izvještaj o svim pitanjima od značaja za rad Agencije, povredi zakona i drugih propisa, kao i o drugim saznanjima do kojih dođe tokom kontroie i daje preporuke i odreduje rok za otklanjanje nedostataka.
- Predmetni institut generalnog inspektora kao ključne figure u unutrašnjoj kontroli Agencije, u praksi se našao u raskoraku između svojih ovlašćenja i zaduženja sa jedne i odgovornosti sa druge strane, te nije uspio da zadovolji potrebe vršenja efikasne kontrole organa nadležnog za poslove nacionalne bezbjednosti. Prethodno posebno iz razloga što pozicija generalnog inspektora nije predviđena u Kabinetu predsjednika Vlade, vec Aktom o unutrašnjoj organizaciji i sistematizaciji Agencije, iz čega nesumnjivo proizilazi pitanje nepristrasnosti generalnog inspektora pri vršenju unutrašnje kontrole Agencije - ocijenjeno je u obrazloženju predloženog zakona.
To je dovelo do situacije u kojoj je institut generalnog inspektora za unutrašnju kontrolu rada Agencije, iskijučivo predviđen zakonom, bez jasnog pozicioniranja unutar sistema Vlade.
- Na ovaj način, nije ustanovljeno koja prava ima generalni inspektor, te nisu precizirana prava u dijelu koji se na odnosi na koeficijent složenosti poslova. Imajući u vidu navedeno, glavni cilj usvajanja predmetnog Predloga zakona o izmjenama i dopunama Zakona o Agenciji za nacionainu bezbjednost jeste uspostavijanje novog instituta specijalnog kontrolora, a koji će odgovarati potrebama efikasnog, pravovremenog, pravilnog i odgovornog vršenja unutrašnje kontrole Agencije - dodaje se u obrazloženju predloga zakona.

Vlada poslala Skupštini prijedlog izmjene zakona o ANB-u: Umjesto generalnog inspektora specijalni kontrolor

Društvena mreža Iks (X) za sedam dana će pustiti u javnost svoj novi algoritam, uključujući i programski kod koji odlučuje o preporukama objava i oglasa, objavio je vlasnik kompanije Ilon Mask danas na svojoj platformi.
Mask je pojasnio kako će se proces odvijati: "Ovo će se ponavljati svake četiri sedmice, s opsežnim bilješkama za razvojne programere, kako bi vam pomoglo da razumijete šta se promijenilo."
Iako milijarder nije otkrio konkretne razloge za taj potez, odluka o otvaranju algoritma dolazi u vrijeme pojačanih sukoba kompanije s regulatornim tijelima zbog sadržaja koji se prikazuje korisnicima.
Posebno su evropski regulatori pojačali nadzor nad Iksom, fokusirajući se na probleme dezinformacija, neadekvatne moderacije sadržaja i nedostatka transparentnosti.
Francuske su vlasti još u julu prošle godine zatražile od kompanije da podijeli svoj algoritam u sklopu istrage o navodima o pristranosti i manipulaciji. Iks je tada odbio udovoljiti zahtjevu, uz optužbe da je istraga politički motivisana.

Mask: Objavićemo novi algoritam Iksa

Vaterpolisti Srbije su nakon boljeg izvođenja penala slavili protiv Holandije na otvaranju Evropskog prvenstva u Beogradskoj areni. Selekcija Srbije je odigrala neriješeno 13:13 (5:4, 3:2, 2:3, 3:4) protiv Holandije, iako je bila veliki favorit.

Srbija tek nakon peteraca savladala Holandiju

Nakon što je venecuelska opoziciona čelnica i dobitnica Nobelove nagrade za mir Marija Korina Mačado sugerisala da bi svoju nagradu za 2025. godinu mogla dati američkom predsjedniku Donaldu Trampu, stigao je jasan odgovor iz Norveškog Nobelovog instituta – takav prenos nije moguć.
Mačado je ovu ideju iznijela kao znak zahvalnosti za ulogu Sjedinjenih Američkih Država u hapšenjju bivšeg venecuelskog predsjednika Nikolasa Madura, nakon američke vojne operacije.
Norveški Nobelov institut saopštio je da se Nobelova nagrada za mir ne može prenijeti, podijeliti niti opozvati. Pozivajući se na statute, institut je naglasio da su odluke o dodjeli nagrade konačne i trajne i da odbori koji dodjeljuju nagrade ne komentarišu postupke ili izjave laureata nakon što prime priznanje.
- Jednom kada se Nobelova nagrada objavi, ne može se opozvati, podijeliti ili prenijeti drugima- navodi se u saopštenju Norveškog nobelovog komiteta i Nobelovog instituta. „Odluka je konačna i vrijedi zauvijek.“
Mačado je tokom gostovanja u emisiji kod Šona Hanitija na Fox Newsu objasnila da bi dodjela nagrade Trampu bila čin zahvalnosti venecuelskog naroda za uklanjanje Madura i da bi željela „podijeliti nagradu s njim“. Tramp je izjavio da bi mu bila čast da je prihvati ako mu je Mačado ponudi na njihovom planiranom sastanku u Vašingtonu naredne sedmice.
Međutim, institut je jasno naglasio da to nije moguće prema pravilima Nobelove fondacije, jer nagrada ostaje isključivo u vlasništvu laureata koji ju je dobio.

Norveški Nobelov institut odbacio prijedlog venecuelske opozicionarke da prenese nagradu Trampu

Američka vojska izvela je više vazdušnih udara u Siriji, ciljajući militantnu grupu Islamska država.
Opsežni udari izvedeni su oko 12.30 časova po istočnom vremenu u SAD-u, saopštila je Centralna komanda Sjedinjenih Američkih Država.
U saopštenju se navodi: "Ovi udari dio su operacije ‘Hawkeye Strike’, koja je pokrenuta i najavljena 19. decembra 2025. godine po nalogu predsjednika Trampa, kao direktan odgovor na smrtonosni napad ISIS-a na američke i sirijske snage u Palmiri, u Siriji, 13. decembra 2025. godine.
- Taj napad iz zasjede, koji je izveo terorista ISIS-a, rezultirao je tragičnom pogibijom dva američka vojnika i jednog američkog civilnog prevodioca- ali u saopštenju nije navedeno da li je u udarima bilo poginulih.
Dodaje se: "Naša poruka ostaje snažna – ako povrijedite naše borce, pronaći ćemo vas i ubiti bilo gdje u svijetu, bez obzira na to koliko se trudili da izbjegnete pravdu."
