The poachers who attacked and injured two supervisors of the Skadar Lake National Park last night were also helped by a monk from the Kom monastery, a certain Filip.
This was announced to "Vijesti" by the head of the Skadar Lake National Park Protection Service, Vuk Saičić, adding that he and his colleague Marko Gluščević were injured in last night's action.
He explained that, after midnight, they first noticed a generator on the lake, and when they headed towards it in a speedboat, they saw that two poachers were catching fish with their spears.
"We recognized one of them as Prenkić, and the other with him was wearing a fireman's sweatshirt. We issued a warning, which they ignored and started to run away. We reached them after a kilometer and tried to hold them back. Then we were also hit with oars, me in the neck area, and my colleague Gluščević in the ribs area. One of them started to stab me with a stick and stabbed me in the area of the left forearm. Then the monk Filip passed by with a knife and started threatening us, accusing us of working with drugs across the lake and that we won't be long. I took out my phone to record him, he came up to me, stole the phone and threw it into the lake. Then they ran away together into a narrow part among the bushes, through which we could not pass by speedboat, because it is bigger," he said is Saičić to "Vijesta".
He explained that after that they went to seek medical help, and then to the police.
