Mirović: After an hour and a half of unnecessary detention, I was released to Serbia, proof of the delirium of Aleksandar Vučić's regime

Although he is a citizen of Serbia, Dejan Mirović, a full professor at the University of Kosovska Mitrovica, was not allowed to enter Serbia from Montenegro at the Gostun border crossing tonight at around 20 pm, he told "Vijesti".

"Tonight at around 20pm, the Serbian police banned me from entering Serbia, even though I am its citizen and a former member of the National Assembly. They gave me no explanation and surrounded my vehicle. After an hour and a half of unnecessary detention, I was allowed to enter Serbia," said Mirović.

He pointed out that such treatment of a university professor who has never been convicted "is proof of the delirium of Aleksandar Vučić's regime."

He recalled that in 2018 he was banned from entering Montenegro, and that he is now experiencing a similar situation in Serbia.

"Another proof of cooperation between DPS and SNS," said Mirović.

The situation at the border crossings between Montenegro and Serbia will be normalized tonight after officers of the Security and Intelligence Agency (BIA) of Serbia withdrew from the border crossings, Vijesti Television has learned.

BIA officers withdrew after Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić called on Serbian state authorities from Tivat to allow Montenegrin citizens to enter Serbia through border crossings.

Due to yesterday's return of a plane with 87 men close to Vučić from Tivat airport, Serbia has been conducting detailed checks of Montenegrin citizens at border crossings since last night at 7:30 p.m., so there were waits of over six hours to enter Serbia.

Some Montenegrin citizens have been banned from entering Serbia under the pretext that they pose a security threat to that country.

Thus, a bus carrying around 20 residents of the Bijelo Polje Nursing Home, who were turned back from the Gostun crossing, was unable to make a trip to Serbia today. A bus full of children from the Cultural and Artistic Society from Kotor was held up at the border with Serbia for more than five hours last night and was only released after midnight.

Another 30 Montenegrin citizens, exclusively men, were detained late last night at the Belgrade airport, where they were only released after detailed checks.

Last night, ERO Vice President Blažo Radjenović was unable to enter Serbia, and former Montenegrin police director Nikola Terzić was also banned from entering.
