Montenegro convicts Jovo Martinović again, jeopardizing EU accession

NewsReporters Without Borders (RSF) is appalled by the one-year prison sentence that investigative reporter Jovo Martinović received on a drug trafficking charge at the end of his retrial in Montenegro today. The country’s judicial system must stop persecuting this journalist and finally take account of all the evidence of his innocence, RSF said.In the latest stage in his Kafkaesque ordeal, Jovo Martinović was convicted of serving as an intermediary between drug traffickers.
