Even yesterday, the police did not find and arrest Marko Jovanović from Podgorica, whom they suspect of murdering Radivoj Jovanović (42) and Miloš Šaković (31).
The suspects of complicity in that murder, the brothers Janko and Predrag Vukadinović, will be heard today by the investigating judge of the Podgorica High Court, Vladimir Novović. He will decide on the prosecution's proposal to remand the Vukadinovićs for up to 30 days.
Their lawyer, lawyer Velibor Marković, told "Vijesta" that the investigation was declared secret.
He said that Janko defended himself by remaining silent during the hearing, and that his brother denied guilt.
Kristina Brnović, who is suspected of complicity, was remanded in custody yesterday, and the prosecutor also questioned Dragoljub Ćetković, who was brought to the hearing from Spuša prison.
The Special Prosecutor's Office, to which the case was forwarded by colleagues from the Higher Prosecutor's Office, is trying to determine who created the criminal group whose members allegedly became the suspects on whose order Jovanović killed Šaković in the center of Podgorica, as well as Jovanović who was innocently killed in a mafia confrontation.
The police officially announced that they suspect that the arrested, as well as Marko Jovanović whom they are looking for, are members of the Skaljar criminal clan. Allegedly, they are connected to Baranin Alan Kožar, whom the police have been connecting with that Kotor criminal clan for years. According to police records, Kožar is the head of one of Bar's criminal clans.
The head of the criminal police sector, Enes Baković, said two days ago that he does not exclude the possibility that the murder of Šaković is connected with the murder of Dražen Čađenović, who was killed two days before the last mafia showdown in the center of Podgorica.
Čađenović was killed in a bomb explosion in a garage on Rimski trg in Podgorica. At first, the police announced that it was possible that he died due to the unprofessional handling of explosives, but a day later they were denied by preliminary expert examinations.
Šaković and Jovanović were killed on May 31 at noon in the Forum restaurant.
The XNUMX-year-old noticed the killer, and pushed the bar table he was sitting at to protect himself and his godfather's wife and her baby. Before that, he knocked the best man who was sitting across from him off his chair.
The first shots fired by Šaković's killer hit and killed Jovanović.
The terrace of the bar where the murdered Podgorica residents were sitting was full of people. Šaković was accompanied by his wife and a married couple with a baby, and Jovanović with a girl.
The civil sector is demanding harsher prison sentences
Activists of the civil sector demanded changes to the Criminal Code yesterday because, they said yesterday from a protest in front of the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the courts are affecting the increased number of criminal offenses with a mild criminal policy. The protest, which was not attended by a large number of citizens, was organized by members of the network of non-governmental organizations Open Platform.
"This protest should be organized in front of the Supreme Court building, because they - the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court - influenced the increase in the number of criminal offenses with their mild criminal policy and thus sent the message that the perpetrators of the most serious crimes can be found after only a few years on freedom and continue his criminal life", said the director of NGO 4Life Saša Mijović.
Maja Raičević from the Center for Women's Rights also asked for harsher punishments for those crimes. She said that, despite the "terrible things that are happening, we do not see the appropriate reaction of the competent institutions".
"The question arises who is more protected here, citizens or criminals," she said.
Aida Petrović from the Montenegrin Women's Lobby said that citizens do not feel safe.
"There was no timely and adequate response to prevent or prevent what happened a few days ago in the strict center of Podgorica," she said.
Igor Milošević from ZID said that the Open Platform insists that Montenegro adopt the concept of human security, on which the European Union is based.
The criminal vortex must not touch the citizens
Prime Minister Duško Marković said yesterday that citizens should not bear the consequences of "criminal maelstroms and clan conflicts".
"We will look for them at every level of Montenegro, and the order of the Council is to find them in legal procedures, wherever they are, even abroad," reads the statement after yesterday's session of the National Security Council, which he chaired.
"The council welcomed the quick and efficient detection and arrest of the perpetrators and co-perpetrators of serious crimes committed last week, the double murder and the activation of an explosive device near the journalist's house in Bijelo Polje.
"The newly formed specialized teams, made up of representatives of the Prosecutor's Office, the Police Directorate and other authorities, have a clear task - to be one step ahead of every criminal intent," the Government announcement reads.
The Council sent support and encouragement to all members of the intelligence and security sector, representatives of the Prosecutor's Office and the judiciary, to proactively prevent and bring to justice all those who attack the safety and security of citizens.
Marković said, it is written in the announcement, that "the current moment does not only require the work of institutions in accordance with their regular legal obligations".
"At the time of the state's reckoning with organized crime, everyone must make an additional and stronger contribution with the aim of protecting every citizen and his family," he said. In addition to the members of the Council, the session was attended by Supreme State Prosecutor Ivica Stanković, Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić, Acting Police Director of the Police Directorate Vesko Damjanović and Head of the Criminal Police Sector Enes Baković.
