Responding to queries from the Office of the President of Montenegro, the National Coordination Body recommended that a traditional reception on the occasion of the Statehood Day should not be organised this year. 

Responding to queries from the Association of Fighters of the People's Liberation War and Antifascist of Montenegro, the National Coordination Body recommended postponing the ceremonies planned for 8 July in Ravni Laz and 13 July in Bijelo Polje.

Full support to the Montenegrin police

The National Coordination Body for Communicable Diseases strongly condemned the attacks on the police and the naming and shaming of the police officers.

The police professionally and efficiently protect and serve all citizens and the state, as it showed during the coronavirus epidemic. That is why the attack on the police is an attack on the state of Montenegro and on all citizens. The National Coordination Body expresses its full support to our police.

Inappropriate actions of individual doctors

The National Coordination Body considers actions of individual doctors inappropriate due to the gross violation of the profession, science, code of ethics and the Hippocratic Oath.

We show the highest respect to thousands of health workers throughout Montenegro who, with their dedicated, selfless and devoted work, have been and remain on the front line of defending the health and lives of citizens.

New temporary measures in Rožaje

Due to the epidemiological situation in Rožaje, additional temporary measures have been introduced in that municipality, which are in force as of Friday, 26 June (in addition to general measures for the whole of Montenegro introduced on 18 June and today and special measures for this municipality introduced on 20 June).
