The Kom monastery announced that last night their monk was not in the company of the people who had an incident with the gamekeepers on Lake Skadar, that he did not steal Vuk Saičić's phone and throw it into the water, but that he reacted when he heard calls for help.

"The monk was on the lake fishing with his own nets for which he has a permit and was not in the company of the persons who had an incident with game wardens. In the late evening hours, a boat with game wardens passed by his vessel at high speed, swamping him and the boat, as well and tearing the nets, which the monk had previously legally installed," reads the statement sent from that monastery.

It is added that the gamekeepers caught up with the chun with third parties, and that the monk, "being experienced on Lake Skadar, because he grew up next to it, estimated that the chun with third parties is also endangered and that it is possible to sink it".

"...And he also heard calls for help, and he approached the meeting place of the other two vessels with his boat, solely for the reason of helping those he thought were in danger". In his presence, there were no confrontations with oars and oars that were talked about in the media, but he did not attend the meeting of gamekeepers and third parties from the beginning. The allegations that the monk kidnapped and threw the phone to the gamekeeper are incorrect. He had no physical contact with anyone or insulted anyone, but his presence contributed to the end of this incident. The monk, in his capacity as a citizen, has already given an appropriate statement to the Police Directorate regarding these circumstances," reads the statement of the Kom monastery.

The head of the Skadar Lake National Park Protection Service, Vuk Saičić, previously told Vijesti that 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.

Saičić also said that the monk stole his phone and threw it into the lake.

Two suspects for the attack on the supervisors of the Skadar Lake National Park (NP) - Vojin Prenkić (31) and Dušan Klikovac (42) were arrested and taken to the Podgorica Security Department.

Prenkić and Klikovac will face criminal charges for the attack on the head of the supervisory service Vuk Saičić and his colleague Marko Gluščević.

The news has unofficially learned that the arrested Prenkić and Klikovac are charged with the criminal offenses of assault on an official in the performance of official duties and illegal fishing.

Prenkić and Klikovac were arrested for attacking gamekeepers and illegal hunting.

The two are suspected of having attacked Vuk Saičić and Marko Gluščević, the supervisors at Lake Skadar, with oars and oars last night, a little after midnight.

Supervisors of the Skadar Lake National Park were attacked last night, and poachers tried to stab one of them with a spear.
