The Commission for Monitoring Investigations of Attacks on Journalists recommended that in the case of the murder of "Dana" editor-in-chief Duško Jovanović, the DNA expert examination be repeated in Wiesbaden, said Minister without portfolio Zoran Miljanić.
In the Link program on Radio Montenegro, he said that the Commission recommended that some persons who had not been questioned before be questioned.
Miljanić said that when that case is resolved, he will have answers to many wrongdoings in the last 20 years.
"The case has been reactivated, there is a new prosecutor, and I expect the results," Miljanić said, as reported by the RTCG portal.
He added that he hopes to reach the principals, not only the executors.
"The commission made recommendations to interrogate some persons who have not been heard before, and we will make recommendations for DNA expertise according to Wiesbaden. It will be interesting when the results arrive, because after 20 years the technique of DNA examination has progressed, assuming that there were no abuses, and it is possible that there was," said Miljanić.
According to Miljanić, this case is a textbook example of the obstruction of institutions, above all the acting prosecutor, as well as part of the police, who contributed to the case not being brought to light.
"The most important thing is that the case has not been archived and we will deal with it until the perpetrators and the perpetrators are brought to justice," said Miljanić.
Speaking about the tunnel to the High Court building, in the area where several important state institutions are located, he said that it is a red alarm for the state to start changing many things in the security system.
Miljanić pointed out that it is inconceivable that in the 21st century the depot of the High Court does not have video surveillance, and that the door is locked with a padlock.
As he said, the case shows that it is a series of failures by security institutions and their leaders.
"I cannot provide information, because the case is ongoing and the police have tackled a serious criminal organization, and the fact is that the mafia in Montenegro has not been defeated. The octopus's legs have been torn off, but the head is still there," said Miljanić.
He believes that the responsibility is in the first place in the court, because since 2015 he had to have his own guard or hire an agency that would deal with security issues.
"We had one warning when a bomb was thrown in the Basic Court six months ago, and I also then asked the question why it was not done earlier. The responsibility is clear, first of all on the Court, and secondly on the security services, especially the Agency for national security," Miljanic said.
He also notes that the coordination between services and institutions is poor and the lack of PR who knows how to deal with such crises is also a problem.
"Leaders of institutions cannot be public relations people, because then you have the papacy, that in three days we have five different pieces of information for the public from different institutions, which only help the perpetrators," emphasized Miljanić.
As he said, the Special State Prosecutor's Office and the Special Police Department must be provided with working conditions, "because they work in similar conditions as this depot".
"Bummed with objects, they have no space and that is the next step that would have to be solved," said Miljanić.
He believes that it is not enough to physically move them, but also to provide safety catches and standards.
"If we apply it, as is done in the world, we won't have these problems. If it was done in the High Court, this would be impossible," said Miljanić.
He pointed out that the professionalization and depoliticization of the police must be the focus of the new government.
