The Podgorica Prosecutor's Office has been conducting proceedings regarding the awarding of the July Thirteenth Award to writer Bećir Vuković for eight months, but a decision has not yet been made.

The investigation was launched in July, after the National Library "Đurđe Crnojević" confirmed that the disputed title was not recorded in any library database.

The Center for Civic Education is demanding that responsibility be established - not only for Vuković, but also for some of the jury members.

In the meantime, institutions reacted more quickly to the participants of the protest in front of Villa Gorica during the award ceremony, who were processed by the police for disturbing public order.
