On September 17, Milačić filed a criminal complaint against Lazović due to the well-founded suspicion that he committed the criminal offense of creating a criminal organization.
At the time, his party explained that Milačić did so because of Lazović's allegations from January 28 - when, as assistant police director, he stated at a press conference that there was no need to fear the presence of Serbian citizens Veljko Belivuk and Marko Miljković in Montenegro.
As they recall, Lazović then said: "The moment we found out that they had come to Montenegro, we did everything, brought them and their hosts to OB Kotor, held informative interviews, asked them to tell us the reasons for their arrival." If they are not enemies of Montenegro, there is no need to fear anyone. Belivuk and Miljković will be under the surveillance of the Sector for the fight against crime 24 hours a day, and of course we will prevent them in every attempt to carry out criminal activity".
Prava claims that Lazović's statements that there is no need to fear their presence are incorrect and deliberately uttered in order to facilitate their entry into Montenegro, and that he must have had knowledge of what kind of persons they were.
