Montenegro Parliament To Probe Media Spy Claims

In  Montenegro, a parliamentary committee has called a hearing with the interior minister and special prosecutor following an opposition daily's claims that its journalists were secretly surveyed.

Djurdjina Ivanovic, the special prosecutor, and Rasko Konjevic, the Interior Minister, will be summoned to appear before parliament's Committee for Security and Defence, this body agreed on Monday.

The hearing, probably in mid-March, follows allegations that the institutions headed by the two officials abused their competences to order secret surveillance measures of journalists.
