Prosecutors in Montenegro say they are investigating a tunnel dug between the High Court building and a nearby apartment in Podgorica after its discovery by authorities probing an apparent burglary attempt. The High Court's president, Boris Savic, said on September 12 that "almost nothing is missing" from the evidence-storage depot at the terminus of the tunnel. He said it was "in a well-hidden place" and "had to have been built over a long period of time." But he said "the most important thing for us is that we closed something that posed a danger." Montenegrin authorities have grappled with organized crime and lawlessness for decades. To see the original story by RFE/RL's Balkan Service, click here.
