Hundreds protest after reporter shot

The shooting of a prominent investigative newspaper reporter has sparked protests involving hundreds of people in Podgorica, Montenegro’s capital.

Olivera Lakic was shot in the leg by unidentified men outside her home in the city and remains in hospital.

The 49-year-old reporter specialises in exposés of corruption in the tiny Balkan nation and organised crime rings and has been attacked before for her work.

Her shooting was the second recent attack on a journalist and led to condemnation from the US and European Union.
