The Network for the Affirmation of the Non-Governmental Sector (MANS) commented on the first-instance verdict of the Higher Court in Podgorica acquitting the defendants in the "Apartments" case.
"What can I say except bravo for the new government, bravo for the judicial reform, bravo for the unfulfilled promises, bravo for not being corrupt either. Now you too can start distributing apartments to these phenomenal staff you brought into office. May the plunder continue," the NGO posted on Facebook.
