The former president of Montenegro, Milo Đukanović, informed Montenegrin competent authorities that he received information that an assassination attempt was being prepared against him, his office informed "Vijesta".
Late last night, the Police Directorate told "Vijesta" that they do not have data that would indicate planned activities aimed at endangering the safety of former president Milo Đukanović.
The National Security Agency did not respond to "Vijesti" questions about it.
"The former president received the above-mentioned information from certain international officials from the intelligence community, and with that information he informed the state authorities," Đukanović's office replied to the question of whether anyone from the security sector informed him that his security was at risk, that is, that he is being assassinated.
It was not answered who and when Djukanović was given this information.
A source close to Đukanović said that a high-ranking foreign military official from Kosovo informed him that an organized criminal group from a neighboring country was allegedly planning to carry out an assassination, in conjunction with the security services of another neighboring country.
"According to Article 18 of the Law on the President of Montenegro, upon termination of office, the President has the right to permanent personal security in accordance with the security assessment determined by the competent authority, in accordance with the law. In accordance with the positive regulations, the National Security Agency is responsible for preparing reports on security threat assessment," the Police Administration announced.
Answering the question of whether Djukanovic's security has been increased, his office has announced that it has been reduced.
"Changes in security in that period took place to the extent that security at the place of residence of the former President was abolished during the day shift".
They also pointed out that the Montenegrin security services did not call Đukanović or his security coordinator for an interview, in order to point out the potential danger.
"There was no initiative for a conversation by the representatives of the security services," Đukanović's office told "Vijesta".
