Milatović's Cabinet: Spajić did not confirm attendance at the Defense and Security Council session

As Milatović's cabinet said at the time, "this is the fifth time since the beginning of the year that the Prime Minister has not responded to the invitation to a session."

"Continued avoidance of participation in sessions leads to the blocking of decision-making in the field of defense and security, including issues that directly concern the functioning of the Army of Montenegro and the overall security system of the state," the statement reads.

The Cabinet of the President of Montenegro stated at the time that Mandić, Krapović and Ibrahimović, as well as the Director of the National Security Agency (ANB) Ivica Janović, had confirmed their attendance at the session.

Milatović scheduled a session of the Defense and Security Council for March 2nd.

The Public Relations Office of the President of Montenegro said at the time that Mandić, Krapović, Ibrahimović, Janović, as well as the Deputy Prime Minister for Security, Defense, Fight against Crime and Internal Policy Aleksa Bečić, had been invited to the meeting.
