+# Montenegro history and profile review — 24 October 2026
+
+Six new entries, two revised entries and four new articles extend the five-event Montenegro history. All six current scores, the existing historical score vectors and recreational/medical metadata are preserved (exact score 18). The separately researched driving section and both of its source records are preserved verbatim. All rewritten profile sections and batch entries/articles use inline references. New and revised entries have vocabulary-checked tags.
+
+## Material read
+
+Local downloads, text extractions, fetch scripts and verification logs are retained in `tmp/history-montenegro-gap-2026-10-24/`. These are research material, not build outputs. The temporary `site/` build is removed after verification.
+
+- Government drug law, consolidated through 2013: preamble, definitions, prevention/treatment, cultivation and whole-crop sale, medicine production/trade, prescribed possession, travellers, prohibited conduct and individual penalties. Government document `afd3651b-7fdd-43b9-b324-6e1e1a1a36cb` is the public citation. The alternative download saved as `law2011.pdf` is ALSO consolidated through 2013; its filename does not make it an original 2011 statute.
+- CINMED official reproduction consolidated through Gazette 84/2024, applicable from 1 October 2024: relevant definitions and articles 18–23, 42a–46 and 52. This upgrades the profile's cited consolidation, but is not a complete October 2026 consolidation.
+- Complete two-page 2014 cultivation-permit rules: signed 24 June, published 30 June and expressly effective 8 July. Article 1 uses at most 0.2% THC in **dry plant matter**. Applications identify certified-seed quantity, variety, parcel, intended crop dates and whole-harvest purchase-contract number. The hemp-land notification deadline is 1 May each year; the 30-days-after-sowing rule is for poppy. Linked annexed forms were not needed for these claims and were not read.
+- Criminal Code reproduction by Asistent, consolidated through Gazette 121/2025: complete articles 300–301. Ordinary unlawful production/supply: two to ten years; import for that supply offence: two to twelve; dealer/intermediary network: three to fifteen. Giving drugs for consumption or providing premises: six months to five years, aggravated two to ten. The confiscation/destruction rule and possible excuse from punishment after revealing a supplier are express. No case-specific sentence is inferred from these ranges.
+- Beta's 13 October 2014 report, republished by Blic and credited to Ilija Despotović: Liberal Party MP Andrija Popović proposed medical cannabis for pain in serious illness. The headline's reference to Montenegro proposing legalisation is narrowed to the MP/party identified in the body. Date is the news report, not an established introduction or vote date.
+- Pobjeda interview republished by Portal Analitika on 13 June 2022: petition over 6,500 signatures, parties' stated positions and Edin Šarkinović's account. His medical benefits and six-month electronic-monitoring punishment are attributed to his account. No judgment was retrieved; no specific offence, sentence date or general medical efficacy is inferred. The report says roughly 50 g in its introduction and quotes him giving 52.8 g; the article uses roughly 50 g.
+- Vijesti report republished by N1 on 24 August 2025, quoting police: eight connected plots, about 13,100 plants in full growth, irrigation/security equipment, evidence collection and cutting of plants, two arrests and related searches. The rewrite avoids upgrading cutting into a separate verified destruction procedure.
+- Police Directorate statements of 29 October 2025 and 3 March 2026: third arrest (N.D., 31, Bar), followed by supplementary complaints against A.M., 42, and M.V., 49, Zeta. **The last two were reported as complaints, not arrests.** Police accounts concern suspicions and investigative work; no conviction or guilt finding is asserted. The 2026 statement describes trace examinations, forensic work and analysis; the article does not invent a specific DNA or phone finding.
+
+## 2026 amendment: distinguish the proposal from the enacted text
+
+The cabinet approved a drug-law proposal on 17 July; its announcement was published on 20 July. The complete government PDF (`75bcde52-c123-45eb-a6ea-1f8148f93bde`) is explicitly marked **PREDLOG**. Read the operative draft, especially definitions, EUDA coordination/data reporting, police possession, advertising, early warning and changes to individual penalties. It keeps the 0.2% industrial-hemp definition, existing possession fine and permit system, while adding an individual advertising offence and new-psychoactive-substance controls. These are presented as **proposals** in a debate entry.
+
+The Official Gazette registry (`https://www.sluzbenilist.me/propisi/396958`) records a drug-law amendment in Gazette 117/2026, published and effective **7 August 2026**. This enacted milestone is mentioned with the registry as source; detailed draft wording is not silently presented as the final law. The full final act remains a retrieval task.
+
+The parliamentary legislative-committee report of 28 July was read through web extraction (`https://zakoni.skupstina.me/zakoni/web/dokumenta/sjednice-radnih-tijela/4543/12250-24-7-26-2-.pdf`). It records accepted technical amendments, including correction of the proposed advertising fine's cross-reference and conjunction. A publicly accessible Kruna article-52 preview, though labelled with the 2026 amendment, omitted the newly proposed point 9 even after the committee had approved its correction. Consequently it is not relied upon as a complete current consolidation. No authentication or free-reading limit was bypassed.
+
+The profile retains the existing personal-possession fine and supply penalties, now tied to more recent statutory reproductions. The draft and publicly indexed 2026 criminal-code amendment lists did not identify a change to those core penalties; this is not certification of all final 2026 wording. Retrieve the full final drug-law amendment and criminal-code amendments in Gazettes 117/2026 and 137/2026 before asserting exhaustive current coverage. The draft alone is insufficient for adding an enacted advertising offence to the profile.
+
+## Dates, scores and unresolved history
+
+- The 2011 entry now says **publication on 10 June**, with promulgation on 3 June distinguished. It explicitly dates the fine and hemp provisions to the **2013 consolidated text**, avoiding an unsupported claim that the exact later wording first applied in 2011. The Official Gazette registry gives 17 June commencement while the consolidation has an eighth-day clause; no resolution of that discrepancy is claimed. Original 2011 and 2013-amendment FAO PDFs returned access errors and require later retrieval.
+- The 2014 hemp implementation is unscored: it details an existing licensed food/industrial route. It does not prove a new personal-growing entitlement. The statutory misdemeanour for breaching hemp permits does not establish that every few-plant personal grow avoids the criminal production offence. Obtain judicial treatment of that boundary before changing cultivation 1.
+- Generic medical/pharmaceutical licences and prescribed-medicine possession are reported accurately. They do not establish an operating cannabis patient programme. No medical-access or access score is raised. The blanket old claims of no production and no legal THC products were replaced with the specific hemp/licensing rules the sources actually support.
+- Existing 1930 first-restriction and 1950 Yugoslav score allocations were not reconstructed in this pass. The 1930 source remains weak and should be replaced with the original code and cannabis-specific coverage before treating it as a fully audited first prohibition. The original date of fine-only personal possession remains open.
+- A search found a 7 December 2022 parliamentary transcript suggesting a later medical-cannabis debate. Its PDF returned 404 to direct and web retrieval. This is a lead, not a new checked entry or an established successful vote.
+- EUDA's October 2024 national overview was partly read through web extraction, but direct downloads were blocked. No new survey or arrest statistic is derived from it in this batch.
+
+## Verification
+
+`verify.mjs` checks all batch categories, tags, IDs, related links, source coverage, inline citation placement, article length/headings and country links. It also asserts that current scores, existing Montenegro score vectors and the driving section and its source records match the saved baseline. The four articles are 375–395 words with four sections each.
+
+The production build passed: **4,005 pages**. Rendered verification passed for **103 citation links**, affected history and country pages, all batch tag pages, history exports, the profile API and exact score 18. No raw citation marks leaked into the checked rendered text or exports. The temporary `site/` directory was deleted after verification. The commit uses a private index with only owned history objects, the Montenegro profile, four articles and this memo; unrelated staged and working-tree changes to `source-archive.json` are preserved.
