Deputy of the Democratic People's Party (DNP) Vladislav Bojović said that it is unacceptable that the European Commissioner Oliver Varhelji is "invited and consulted" for personnel issues of the Police Directorate.
Minister of the Interior Danilo Šaranović announced yesterday that the idea of him managing the police was offered by the Europe Now Movement (PES), and that he discussed it with Varhelji, who, he claims, said that they have the support to take all steps to achieve " maximum operability of the Police Administration (UP)".
Bojović also said that "the crisis in the security sector continues and deepens", and that these issues cannot be monopolized by the executive power, "and especially not by certain political segments of the government."
"One cannot indifferently or passively observe how various games are being played around personnel issues, which cannot serve the purpose of healing the security sector. It is completely unclear to me and frankly unacceptable that Commissioner Varhelji is called and consulted on personnel issues of the Police Directorate. Earlier, I expected that a session of the Committee, which is competent to give an opinion on the proposal of a candidate for the director of the Police Directorate, would be requested, so it would be logical for the acting director, rather than someone from Brussels," said Bojović.
He pointed out that the European path of Montenegro implies the achievement of high standards, i.e. consistent compliance with domestic laws.
"For me, there is no dispute about what is written in the Law on Internal Affairs and in the Law on Civil Servants and Employees. Those provisions must be respected, so neither the Government nor Commissioner Varhelji can ignore it. In particular, the law on parliamentary supervision must be respected, where it is clearly based the role of the Security and Defense Committee," said Bojović.
He also referred to the statement of the MP of the Europe Now Movement (PES) and member of the Security and Defense Committee, Miloš Pižurica, who said that he welcomes Šaranović's position that Draško Radinović, Miloš Peković, Milutin Vasiljević and Žarko Pavićević "are not candidates for the position of director of the Police Directorate". .

"I was surprised to read the position of one member of the Committee who commented on the publicly alleged concrete personnel moves of Minister Šaranovic regarding the Director of the Police Directorate, which the Minister did not announce. I have to note this because it is a major issue that indicates that there may be certain politicians who are particularly informed That's why I believe that issues related to security must be additionally defined in the relationship between the Government, ministries and the Board. And this means working in particular on the political bodies that ensure the coordination of the subjects of the parliamentary majority in order to legally and qualitatively achieve the coalition agreement".
Bojović also expects that "everything will be looked at at the top of the coalition on how to improve joint action in order to effectively achieve the coalition agreement".
"Therefore, I believe that the reconstruction of the Government should be carried out as soon as possible, because it is obvious that it needs to be strengthened by the entities of the ZBCG coalition, as the coalition agreement foresees," said Bojović.
