Until that night, I saw the police as people who should serve us citizens, and I certainly did not expect them to do what they did to me and my friend Branimir Vukčević.
That's right yesterday Momcilo Baranin explained why his honor and reputation were injured in the proceedings that the two initiated against the state seeking compensation for brutal insults and attacks by the police, after the DF protest in October 2015.
Yesterday, Baranin explained that since that night he could not sleep normally for a long time and that after that he was not at all happy to see policemen on the street.
He also added that some people from his environment stopped contacting him, without explaining why.
"It was clear to me that they were distancing themselves from me because of this event, which they probably read about in the media. I felt very bad and humiliated. I have never had any problems with the law in my life...", said Baranin.
The trial continues in April.
Attorney Dalibor Kavarić he filed a lawsuit on their behalf, demanding that the state pay them 25.000 euros each, because the sajovs brutally humiliated, beat and mistreated them that night for no reason and left the injured on the street.
Vukčević and Baranin previously said that they only asked the policemen if they could pass through the so-called Zlatarska street, that they got permission, but that they started beating them out of the blue.
“They told us to lie down pi.de one, which we did. After that they started kicking us. One of the policemen put his foot on my head, pressed a baton to my face and asked me if I wanted to smoke... Several more policemen came, who continued swearing and kicking me in the body," Vukčević said earlier. Baranin added that he felt fear for his life while he was being beaten and that he had the hardest time explaining to his children what happened.
Both previously explained that they had attended the DF meeting that night, but that they did not cause riots, nor did they participate in them.
Referring to the practice of the court in Strasbourg, the lawsuit adds that this is a particularly severe form of abuse, due to the impossibility of resistance, and that no one in the Police Department has protected themselves from such actions by officers, which represents a real danger that something like that could happen again. .
In the response to the lawsuit, it is briefly written that there are no grounds for compensation, because there is no evidence of the state's responsibility.
It is still not known who beat the citizens
The police officers who beat the citizens have not been identified to this day. Earlier, as in the case of the beating of Milorad Mijo Martinović, the Constitutional Court concluded that the prosecution conducted an ineffective investigation in this case as well, and demanded that the prosecution carry out the proceedings to the end.
However, the Podgorica Prosecutor's Office still has no information on who beat the citizens that evening.
