Montenegrin Prime Minister Milojko Spajic, on the other hand, stated that they will suspend the visa-free regime applied to Turkish citizens. Making a statement on his social media account, Spajic said, 'We will make a decision to temporarily suspend visa-free entry for citizens of the Republic of Turkey under an emergency procedure.'
Protests were staged in the country following an incident involving two Turkish citizens.
