Former policeman Petar Lazovic did not share information about the killer with the prosecution Armin Musa Osmanagić, which was given to him by a Budvanin in February 2021 Ivan Delic.
Even colleagues from the Special State Prosecutor's Office did not inform the Podgorica Higher State Prosecutor's Office (VDT) that this information exists in correspondence from the once protected Sky application.
This follows from the responses provided to "Vijesti" from the State Prosecutor's Office Podgorica.
From that prosecutor's office, headed by the prosecutor Beautiful Pelenica, They said that at the beginning of July they asked the Police Directorate to act on the case, but that the SDT did not provide them with transcripts...
"The Higher State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica, in the case formed regarding the criminal offense of murder committed against AO, is continuously taking all measures and actions to shed light on the incident in question, and on 10 July 7, an urgent request was again sent to the Police Directorate with the aim of taking all measures and actions within its jurisdiction to discover the perpetrator of the criminal offense in question. At the same time, I would like to point out that the Special State Prosecutor's Office has not yet submitted transcripts related to the above-mentioned in your question," the answers state.
The prosecutor's office asked "Vijesti" whether they had been provided with information that in a communication conducted via the encrypted Sky application, a Budvanin revealed to a former police officer who killed Osmanagić, and whether they had acted on that information and questioned the person Delić names as the perpetrator.
Osmanagić was killed on September 16, 2014 in Bar. He was hit by a bullet from a sniper rifle as he entered the garden of his restaurant "Savoja"...
According to the investigation at the time, the bullet, which passed through his body, then lodged itself in the hand of the restaurant waiter. Zoran Macavara.
Although the competent prosecutors and police have been fumbling around for 11 years when it comes to investigating this crime, the transcripts provided to Montenegrin investigators by Europol in 2021 mention who Osmanagić's alleged executioner was.
On February 16, 2021, Delić revealed the name of the alleged murderer to the accused undercover agent.
He did this after the latter complained to him that the leaders of the Skaljar clan, Vladan Radoman and now deceased Jovan Vukotic, armed with "black arrows" and, as he claims, they are planning to kill his father, a police official Zoran Lazović and the president of the state Milo Đukanović.
Lazović then accused the Serbian service of helping the Skaljari people.
"Brothers, the scoundrels, Jovica and Radoman, with the help of the Serbian service, bought two 12,7 mm sniper rifles, a black arrow that pierces everything, for dad and Milo, the whole story was blown up to mask it. The BIA helped them with the transfer, a lot of people participated with money, i.e. goods, people and executors, and some old cadres, they think that Mile Radulović "With Milo and Zoran, that he is a product of the service and a collaborator and they want to solve it. The black arrow pierces every blind and the one that Milo drives, b12 ... Go through everything you can and give every address so that it is known both on the street and in prison," Lazović wrote to Budvanin that day.
Delić, who has been in the Supška Remand Prison since the end of May on charges of being part of a drug cartel formed by Radoje Switzerland i Vaso Ulic, then he said that this must be addressed:
"Oh, fuck them, I want everything, brother, rest assured, this has to be resolved, there's no going back... We need to watch out for that ******** ***********, he's Muša in Br..., he's their sniper... What a guy, my brother, now we have to be united like never before, believe me, everything comes from my city..., this is your hub... This has to be stopped," he wrote to him.
From the response provided to "Vijesti", it follows that the prosecution, which has been handling this case for the eleventh year, is not aware of the correspondence between the then police officer and the Budva resident.
Murder and investigation
Osmanagić's name has been mentioned in criminal circles since he was an older juvenile in the early 1990s. According to police records, he was the leader of a powerful Bar clan.
Due to long-standing conflicts with the clan of the deceased Luka Đurović, for years he had a strong security ring, and he always used armored cars for driving.
Before each entry into the car, the people from his team would check the surroundings, as well as the vehicle floor, to ensure that Osmanagić was safe.
Osmanagić did not stay longer than five minutes in any other bar he went to in Bar.
However, that did not save him - on September 16, 2014, he was killed by a shot from a "Red Flag" sniper rifle, caliber 7,9 mm.
In the first hours of the investigation into the murder in the center of the port city, "Vijesti" was told that the bullet that hit him in the back passed directly through Baranin's heart.
He passed away on the way to the hospital.
"Vijesti" then, citing sources from the Bar police, announced that investigators believe that at least two people participated in Osmanagić's murder - one, as suspected, was in charge of driving the stolen Renault Megane, and the other of killing him with a sniper. Police data indicate that the shots were fired from that vehicle.
After firing the shot, it took the killers less than two minutes to get from the parking lot on Jovana Tomaševića Street, across the roundabout at "Volija", to the train station in Bar, where they set fire to the car in the bushes of a dead end street.
In an overgrown alley next to the abandoned tracks at the end of the Belgrade-Bar railway, they poured water on and set fire to a "Renault" with Ljubljana license plates, where every trace of them is lost. The police soon found the charred remains of the vehicle and an almost completely destroyed sniper rifle with an optical sight inside.
Forensic teams spent hours during the day trying to find DNA traces from the destroyed Renault, and then cut through parts of the burnt sheet metal to try to find the shell casing.
After the murder of Osmanagić, a special police unit arrived in Bar, stopping and searching almost all cars and drivers at checkpoints in the city.
During the day, dozens of members of criminal clans were brought in for questioning, mostly individuals from the group of the late Luka Đurović.
To date, no one has been suspected of participating in that liquidation.
Almost simultaneously with the fatal shots fired at his friend, the now deceased Baranin, Jovan Klisic He took a weapon and shot at the garden of the "La Esquina" bar, which is owned by the brother of the late Luka Đurović, the alleged leader of the criminal clan with whom Osmanagić had a conflict.
Towards the end of the proceedings, the prosecutor changed the indictment, so Klisić was sentenced to nine months in prison for causing general danger, and not for attempted murder.
According to the indictment, Klisić intentionally caused danger to the life and limb of the bar's guests. Dragana Pečurica and two unidentified persons, firing 12 bullets at the store.
They searched for him all over Europe, and when they found him, they declared him not guilty.
Armin Musa Osmanagić's name was mentioned in the investigation into the murder of "Dan" editor Duško Jovanović.
He was once mentioned as one of the suspects by the former Assistant Minister of the Interior, now deceased Mićo Orlandić.
In September 2004, he named Osmanagić as one of the participants in the murder of "Dan" editor Duško Jovanović.
Orlandić then, 100 days after the murder of Jovanović, said that "they are looking for Osmanagić and Vuk Vulević in Europe", but neither of them was ever officially suspected of that crime.
After a year in hiding, Osmanagić returned to Montenegro, and after two days of detention it was said that there was no evidence that he was in the "Golf 27" from which the editor of "Dan" was shot on the night of May 2004, 3.
Later, at the trial for the murder of Jovanović, Osmanagić testified as a witness that on the night of the liquidation of the editor of "Dan" he was in the Podgorica discotheque "Manija" with Vuk Vulević.
The editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Dan" and a former member of parliament was killed on May 27, 2004 - he was mowed down by shots from an automatic weapon when he left the editorial office of the daily newspaper he owned.
So far, only Damir Mandić from Podgorica has been convicted of participation in the murder. In April 2017, the Appellate Court upheld the verdict for complicity and sentenced him to 19 years in prison.
In addition to the perpetrators and orderers of that murder, those who conducted the investigation so that the truth is never established escape justice. It has not been determined who is responsible for the fact that there have been no serious results for almost two decades.
