To the member of the Zeta Parliament To Dusan Radonjic (Democratic Party of Socialists) will be tried for violent behavior against a colleague from the parliamentary benches Vesko Rašović (Democratic People's Party), Vijesti learns.

Radonjić will not be held responsible for causing minor bodily harm, because the report in that regard was dismissed, the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica explained to Vijesti.

"Regarding your inquiry, we would like to inform you that the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica has opened a case against the suspect DR for the criminal offense of violent behavior and the criminal offense of slight bodily injury. An indictment has been filed against the suspect DR for the criminal offense of violent behavior, while the criminal charge for the criminal offense of slight bodily injury has been dismissed, because there are no grounds for doubt that the suspect committed this criminal offense," responded the Podgorica State Prosecutor's Office, which is headed by the prosecutor Dusko Milanović.

Radonjić and Rašović clashed on November 7, 2025, at a meeting of the heads of councilor clubs in the Zeta Municipal Assembly, when a verbal and physical incident occurred.

That day, Radonjić told Vijesti that the allegations made by the "For the Future of Zeta" coalition that he had attacked representatives of that alliance in the premises of the local parliament were untrue.

He confirmed that an incident had occurred in the office of the President of the Municipal Assembly, but did not want to discuss the details of the event, stating that the case would have a judicial outcome.

On the other hand, Rašović said that he expects the competent authorities to protect him so that he can continue to do what, as he said, "the people elected him to do."

The Coalition "For the Future of Zeta" announced that day that their councilors had been attacked, stating that the heads of the New Serbian Democracy councilors' club To Anastasia Damjanović Two fingers were broken, and the head of the DNP councilors' club, Rašović, suffered serious physical injuries in the form of bruises, hematomas and cuts to the head.

"He was attacked by the president of the DPS councilors' club and former municipal president Dušan Radonjić, who physically attacked Rašović without provocation. At the beginning of the meeting, he attacked him while he was sitting, punched him several times in the face with a closed fist, and then knocked him to the floor, where he continued to hit him. During the separation, councilor Damjanović, who was trying to separate councilor Radonjić, was also injured," they stated at the time.

The DPS Zeta Municipal Board then assessed that the incident in the Zeta Municipality building was the result of years of inappropriate behavior by government representatives, which, as they stated, was often aimed at undermining the integrity and dignity of their representatives.

They stated that they have been warning for years that such a relationship is not good and that it can lead to unwanted consequences.

"Since our municipality is a small community in which everyone, regardless of political, national or other differences, must take care of each other and respect the dignity of people and families, we once again call for calming passions and a more responsible attitude in public communication," DPS Zeta announced at the time.

The day after the incident, the Police Directorate announced that it had been determined that the DPS councilor had physically attacked Rašović, hitting him in the head and body.

The Police Directorate stated that information was collected from Rašović and Radonjić, as well as from witnesses to the event, on the order of the prosecutor at the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica.

"It was determined that DR physically attacked VR, punching him in the head and body, which also injured the witness, whose hand was crushed by the door of the room during the push, and she sustained injuries to two fingers. After reviewing the case files, the acting prosecutor stated that DR's actions constituted elements of the criminal offense of violent behavior in conjunction with the criminal offense of grievous bodily harm, and that criminal charges should be filed against him in regular proceedings," they announced at the time.
