Deputy Prime Minister for Political System, Internal and Foreign Policy and Minister of Justice Zoran Pažin has been appointed to manage the work of the Ministry of European Affairs until the minister is elected, the Government of Montenegro announced.

As announced by the Government, it was decided at the 65th session held today, which was chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Policy and Financial System, Milutin Simović.

On February 22, the former minister Aleksandar Andrija Pejović resigned as a member of the Government of Montenegro for, as he stated, moral reasons.

On February 19, the Agency for Prevention of Corruption found that Pejović, as a public official, violated the Law on Prevention of Corruption, because contrary to the Constitution of Montenegro, he simultaneously had the status of ambassador.
