Montenegrin director Danilo Marunović has been released from the Serbian Security Information Agency (BIA) after questioning, and must leave Serbia immediately, Vijesti has learned.

Another source said that BIA agents would escort Marunović to the border with Montenegro.

Marunović was taken into custody this morning at around nine o'clock for an informational interview at the BIA premises in Belgrade.

Vijesti learned from sources close to theater circles that BIA agents entered Marunović's hotel room, where he was staying for tonight's guest performance of the play "Gospoda Glembajevi", produced by the Montenegrin National Theater (CNP), at the National Theater in Belgrade.

According to the same information, Marunović entered Serbia with his father, actor Slobodan Marunović, without any delay at the border.

The rest of the theater crew, who traveled from Podgorica for the guest performance, is at the Embassy of Montenegro in Belgrade, where they are trying to obtain information about the reasons for Marunović's arrest.

Marunović contacted his father by phone around 13 p.m.

"He had the right to one call, he called his father and said he was fine," said Vijesti's interlocutor.

According to the same information, the theater crew is still at the Montenegrin embassy in Belgrade, and they have been joined by Serbian actor Tihomir Stanić, where they are trying to find out the reason for the director's arrest with Ambassador Nebojša Đoković.

"All authorities have been notified, and a protest note has been sent," Vijesti was told unofficially.

The Ambassador of Montenegro to Serbia confirmed earlier to Vijesti that Marunović had been detained, but could not discuss the details...
