They will also question Vukšić and Pajković.

Podgorica prosecutors from the Basic State Prosecutor's Office are handling several cases formed based on mutual reports of former state officials - former heads of the Directorate at the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights Mirjana Pajković and former director of the National Security Agency (ANB) and security advisor to the president of the country Dejan Vukšić.

The Podgorica Public Prosecutor's Office responded to "Vijesti" by stating that they have formed two cases based on the complaint filed by Pajković against Vukšić, and that in one, based on the complaint filed against her by Vukšić last year, they are also receiving international legal assistance.

"The Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica has opened two cases based on the report of MP against DV, one case due to the existence of grounds for suspicion that the criminal offenses of endangering security and the criminal offense of misuse of someone else's recording, photograph, portrait, audio recording or documents with sexually explicit content were committed, and the other case due to the criminal offenses of endangering security, blackmail, false representation and abuse of official position," explained the Podgorica Public Prosecutor's Office.

The Police Directorate announced two days ago that a criminal complaint had been filed against Pajković on suspicion of committing the crime of coercion to the detriment of Vukšić, in order to force him to withdraw his candidacy for the position of judge of the Constitutional Court. It is suspected that Pajković stole Vukšić's phone on October 10, 2024, and then sent messages and photos from it, thereby "violating his reputation and privacy."

"After the aforementioned event, the injured party contacted MP by telephone and on that occasion addressed offensive words to her, which MP, with the intention of using them as a means of pressure and coercion, secretly audio-recorded. MP then delivered the aforementioned audio-recording to the injured party on 20 March 2025, via the 'Signal' application, along with threatening words and an explicit request to withdraw his candidacy for the position of judge of the Constitutional Court, thereby causing the injured party to feel fear and pressure"...

The prosecutor's office states that both cases are under investigation:

"Interrogations of the suspect DV and the injured party MP have been scheduled. After these hearings, the acting state prosecutors will assess whether it is necessary to conduct other evidentiary actions, after which a decision will be made in the cases, about which the public will be informed in a timely manner."

"Regarding the criminal report filed by DV in 2025, this prosecutor's office has already undertaken certain evidentiary actions, including international legal assistance, which have not yet resulted in the discovery of the perpetrator of the criminal offense. However, we would like to point out that the acting state prosecutor is in intensive communication and cooperation with police officers of the Podgorica Security Department, in order to assess whether the previously reported event can be linked to the report filed by DV against MP dated 12 January 2026, which was filed when collecting the necessary information from DV. The decision on the further course of action by the prosecutor's office will be made soon," the prosecutor's office explained.

They did not specifically answer a set of questions from "Vijesti" about the alleged blackmail.

"Regarding your other questions, in order to protect the interests of the proceedings, we cannot provide answers at this time, except for the part that the Basic State Prosecutor's Office, if it determines that any person has committed any criminal offense, for which they are prosecuted ex officio, will initiate proceedings against that person or those persons. I would like to point out that the state officials you mentioned in your questions, if they have been exposed to blackmail, are obliged to report the criminal offense, and this prosecutor's office is not aware that any criminal offense has been committed against these persons."

On December 30, 2025, Vukšić resigned from his position as security advisor to the President of the Republic, following questions from "Vijesti" about threats made against Pajković.

Pajković recently resigned from her position at the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights, stating that she was doing so for personal reasons.

She did this after the public was flooded with recordings of explicit content, of which she was the protagonist, and she accused Vukšić of spreading this material, which the former head of the secret service denied.
