The Agency for the Prevention of Corruption found that Kotor Municipal Assembly councilors Neđeljko Moškov (DPS) and Goran Brguljan (SDP) violated the Law on Prevention of Corruption because they performed other functions at the same time.
DPS councilor was at the same time director of JU Resource Center for Hearing and Speech "Dr Peruta Ivanović", while SDP councilor was executive director of the Kotor company "Paparon".
According to the Law, both of them had to resign from one of their positions within 30 days. Since they did not do this, they face fines of up to 2.000 euros.
Moškov, against whom proceedings were initiated based on the complaint of the Kotor board of the Democrats, claims that he is not guilty because, according to him, a councilor is not a public function according to the Law on Local Self-Government, and that he did not subordinate a private interest to a public one and thus caused a conflict of interest.
Brguljan did not plead at all in the proceedings that the Agency initiated against him ex officio.
The Agency has recently established that the same provision of the Law was violated by the DPS councilor in Kotor Municipality, Vjera Rašković Perojević, who at the same time was the director of the Radost Public Prosecutor's Office.
"Vijesti" wrote at the end of June that Mošković and Rašković Perojević were in a conflict of interest.
On April 24, all three councilors against whom the Agency conducted proceedings voted for the dismissal of the then mayor of Kotor, Vladimir Jokić (Democrat), even though at that moment they were violating the law because they were in a conflict of interest.
Yesterday, the agency also announced the decision that the director of Tivat's "Vodovod i kanalizija" Alen Krivokapić violated the law, but by not submitting accurate and complete data in his property record.
The decision states that he failed to register over 20.000 square meters of land near Cetinje.
At the oral hearing, he said that he did not report this property "due to pure oversight."
