Djukic and Kraljevic were arrested in Athens in July, on international warrants issued by Montenegrin Interpol, and in Greece they were hiding under false identities and using false documents.
An international arrest warrant has been issued for Kraljević based on three orders of the Higher Court in Podgorica, in order to ensure his presence in criminal proceedings conducted on suspicion that he committed three criminal offenses: creation of a criminal organization and aggravated murder by aiding and abetting.
An international arrest warrant for Đukić was issued based on an order of the Basic Court in Podgorica, for the purpose of conducting criminal proceedings, on suspicion that he committed the criminal offense of criminal association in conjunction with the criminal offense of aggravated theft.
The two were brought before the Basic and High Courts in Podgorica today.
"Officers of the Police Directorate continue with intensive international intelligence cooperation aimed at locating and detaining internationally wanted persons, which further confirms the trust of international partners and intelligence services in the capacities and commitment of Montenegro to fighting crime and strengthening the rule of law," the statement reads.
