Hundreds protested in Montenegro on Wednesday after unknown assailants shot and wounded a prominent crime and corruption reporter, the latest attack on journalists in the small Balkan country that is seeking EU membership. Protesters who gathered outside the government building in Podgorica accused the authorities of doing little to solve a series of attack on journalists in recent years. Those included another attack on Lakic six years ago and a bomb explosion outside another crime reporter's home last month. Olivera Ivanovic, a fellow journalist from the national TV Montenegro, said the attack "is not just a message to her, it's a message to the entire media community." Top Montenegrin and international officials in Montenegro condemned the attack on Lakic and urged a swift investigation.
