Get everyone out of the house... And say you didn't attack them and that you didn't have a weapon... Say they attacked you on your property, to take down your Montenegrin flag.
With those words, the policeman Petar Lazovic he taught Zoran Žuto Đukanović What should he do, after he was publicly accused by the Democratic Montenegro (Democrats) of physically and verbally attacking an official during the election campaign for Nikšić? Krsto Radović and activists of that party.
The former secret agent, at the invitation of the now-indicted member of the so-called Tobacco Grand Clan, joins the election race to help the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), after noting that everyone from the DF is roaming the city, that a lot of people have come from Serbia:
“And everyone is involved against us, along with this local scumbag of ours,” Žuti says in a message sent on February 23, 2021.
The elections in that municipality were held in March of that year, when the DPS "moved" to the opposition benches - the campaign was full of negative charges and the previous government and the opposition exchanged serious accusations.
Correspondence of Lazović, who wrote on Sky under the pseudonym Junior, with Đukanović hidden from view Lover, was preceded by a conference of the Democrats, from which they accused certain Nikšić criminals of the attack that day.
Radović told reporters that the physical attack occurred during a tour of Kočani and that the people who attacked them were armed:
"According to my knowledge, these are individuals who are very well known in the Nikšić criminal milieu," said a Democratic official at the time.
At the same time, he stated that the police did not protect them, but rather harassed them further.
Remove everything...
Shortly after the information about the attack was published in the media, the then active police officer organized how to cover up the case, or rather, turn it around in their favor.
"Remove everything from the house that doesn't belong there... And say that you didn't attack them and didn't have a weapon, that they attacked you on your property to take down your Montenegrin flag," Lazović writes.
The accused cigarette smuggler, almost two hours later, reports to the police that everything is clean in the house, announces that he will listen and report the other party to the police...
Then he brags about his "results from the field": "The bitch is crying and apologizing, 4 of them brothers, and me and my son"...
A few hours later, the man from Nikšić informs Lazović that he has finished everything, but that he has again met with the "warring party"...
"I just finished a lap around town when this trash is in front of their club... I go out and do all sorts of things. F*ck, I said, were there four of you today and you were silent and then you barked like I had a weapon. The misery has gone to shit," explains Đukanović.
When asked by the policeman - Who is that, he replies: "Krsto Radović, the one from Bd, scum... The President of the Assembly, I think, with 3 others... You bastards, they've been let off too much, believe me"...

Petar Lazović was arrested on July 18, 2022, when he was handcuffed on the orders of the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) on charges that he subordinated the police service to the interests of the Kavač clan.
