How much loyalty is still present to members of organized criminal groups and perpetrators of the most serious crimes in the Police Directorate is best evidenced by the fact that in the courtroom before the extrajudicial special panel in the High Court, during the review of the indictment against Zoran Lazović, as his support, and allegedly in the capacity of interested citizens, they attended active police officers Nikola Medenica, Mića Božović, Vladan Lazović, Slavko Đurović, Dražen Miranović and Željko Radunović, he said in a statement submitted To "Vijesta" Boris Bogdanović, head of the Parliamentary Club of Democratic Montenegro.

"Zoran Lazović is not just anyone - he is the person officially accused of creating a criminal organization, abuse of official position, money laundering and illegal possession of weapons and explosive materials. The charges connect him with providing benefits to Veljko Belivuk and Marko Miljković, members of the Swiss criminal organization, enabling them not only entry into Montenegro but also police protection.According to the Special State Prosecutor's Office, Lazović shared lunch with them, probably celebrating the bloody traces which they left behind all over our country," said Bogdanović.

He questions how it is possible that active police officers, who are supposed to protect law and order, "provide support to such a suspected criminal by their presence in the courtroom".

"Article 162 of the Law on Internal Affairs clearly stipulates that there are security obstacles to further work in the police profession if officers 'maintain ties with members of organized criminal groups or persons who are reasonably suspected of belonging to such groups'. The presence of these officers in the courtroom is not only moral and professionally disputed - it requires the initiation of a procedure to determine security disturbances.According to the Law on Internal Affairs, the Police Department is operationally independent, but this does not mean that it must be operationally negligent. The Minister of Internal Affairs does not have the right to initiate security measures against individual officers, but the managers within the Police Department have the right and obligation to take all the necessary measures. If not, why not? those who do not respect the uniform and the law leave the service. Justice demands it, and the people deserve it," Bogdanović said.
