Serb acquitted in Montenegro attempted murder trial; fugitive status remains

A Serbian citizen, Srđan Vušurović, was acquitted by the Higher Court in Podgorica of attempted murder charges related to a 2020 shooting in Podgorica. The acquittal, delivered in absentia as Vušurović is a fugitive, follows claims of betrayal and links to the Škaljari criminal clan. The case highlights cross-border criminal networks in the Western Balkans, but its broader significance is limited.
