The Cetinje Basic State Prosecutor's Office assessed that the Cetinje resident DG committed the criminal offense of assault on an official in the performance of his official duty, by brandishing an electric probe and then a knife at the supervisors of the Skadar Lake National Park, who MM found in poaching.
According to information from "Vijesti", he was not deprived of his liberty last night until the end of the issue of "Vijesti".
The Police Directorate unofficially told "Vijesti" that their officers are taking measures and actions within their jurisdiction, all in order to shed light on the incident.
They also said that two Cetinje residents were charged with committing the criminal offense of illegal hunting and assaulting an official in the performance of official duty.
"Vijesti" announced yesterday that supervisors of the "Skadar Lake" National Park in the Žabljak Crnojević area, while conducting regular activities to prevent poaching during the fishing ban, found two people fishing with electricity.
The footage provided to "Vijesti" shows a poacher, from a vessel that the inspectors are trying to stop, swinging a probe with a current at them, and then running away.
The interviewee of "Vijesti" said that after that, DG swung a knife at the supervisors who were in his vessel and were ordering him to stop.
Fish caught can be seen in the vessel in which DG and MM escaped.
A strict fishing ban has been in effect on Lake Skadar since March 15th, lasting until May 15th.
The fishing ban was issued in accordance with the Order on Fishing Bans, Fishing Season and Minimum Sizes of Fish and Other Aquatic Organisms Below Which Catch is Prohibited, issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management.
At the same time as issuing the ban order, the National Parks of Montenegro launched a campaign called "Be Responsible - Report Poaching", and announced that the campaign aims to raise public awareness about the importance of preserving the natural values of the aquatic environment, especially fish stocks, and combating poaching and all other forms of illegal activities that negatively affect biodiversity.
The National Park of Montenegro recently reminded that the Criminal Code of Montenegro prescribes a fine or a sentence of up to six months in prison in the case of fishing during the hunting season in the National Park "Skadar Lake".
