Montenegro urged to investigate attack against daily

In three separate incidents in 2011, four company cars were set fire by unidentified assailants, the organization noted in a statement.

“The attacks against Vijesti are worrying. I call on the authorities – including the police and the state prosecutor – to immediately open an investigation into this incident and ensure that the perpetrators of this attack are brought to justice,” SEEMO Secretary-General Oliver Vujović said, and added:

“The authorities in Montenegro should also investigate all other unsolved attacks and threats against journalists and media companies in Montenegro in recent years. It is disturbing that most police investigations did not result in arrests of those responsible.”
