The arrest of Naser Ramaj on suspicion of having damaged the state for two million euros is another in a series of evidence that the discretionary right to nominate candidates for awarding the so-called honorary citizenships were actively abused in the previous period, announced the Center for Civic Education (CGO) and reminded that they pointed out his dubious citizenship back in November 2023.
"It is interesting that the granting of that citizenship was preceded by a positive opinion from the Ministry of Finance, but also by an alleged security check, which is carried out by the National Security Agency. Everything that was obvious to citizens remained under the radar of those who had to take care of their interests of the state," the CGO stated on the X social network.
The CGE called on the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Finance and the Government of Montenegro to urgently review the procedure for granting this citizenship and the responsibility for the mistakes made, as well as the role of former Prime Minister Dritan Abazović in all of this.
