Dear maintainer,
I’ve noticed that the example phone number listed for Montenegro in your library  libphonenumber  includes my personal number: +382 67 622 901. I’ve owned this number for over 20 years and currently use it for business and personal communication.
This has caused a serious privacy violation. Many demo websites and users of your library unknowingly publish my number, and I’m now receiving hundreds of spam calls.
I kindly request that you:
  • Remove this number from the exampleNumberMobileNational field (or any similar reference),
  • Replace it with a dummy number that does not correspond to any real user,
  • Purge any references to this number from previous commits if possible.
Please treat this as an urgent matter. I appreciate your help and cooperation.
Kind regards,
Danko Obradović

Thanks.

Once changed, will it be changed on the existing installations (once updated)?
