Director of the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (ASK) Sreten Radonjić said that there is no evidence that the President of Montenegro, Milo Đukanovic, committed any abuse in order to gain profit for himself or for someone else.
During the consultative hearing on the topic "Prevention of corruption - lobbying and whistleblowers" at the session of the Anti-corruption Committee, he said that neither he, nor the Prosecutor's Office, nor Democratic Front (DF) MP Jovan Vučurović have such evidence.
Vučurović previously said that ASK protected Đukanović several times.
"If you have proof, submit it, but you don't have it," Radonjic told Vučurović.
Radonjić said that since the beginning of the Agency's work, they have been achieving measurable results in all areas of their competence.
"The results are extremely good regardless of the critical tones of the observation missions and the EU," said Radonjić.
He said that the latest research shows that there is a high level of trust in the work of the Agency.
Speaking about the results that Radonjić is bragging about, Vučurović pointed out that these are Radonjić's last days as the director of ASK, and that is why he "sang an ode to himself until he moves to another position that the regime has appointed him to make them suffer there as well".
Vučurovic said that the ASK did not work properly during his mandate, stating that Radonjić is party-exposed and that he is on friendly terms with the top of the regime.
Radonjić said that he was chosen based on the conditions he met and that he achieved outstanding results.
No friendly ties, as he pointed out, affected his work.
Danijel Zivkovic. the representative of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) pointed out that the institute of lobbying and whistleblowers is very important, and asked what can be done to improve the position of lobbyists in Montenegro.
The President of the ASK Council, Momčilo Radulović, replied that the Law on Lobbyists is excessive and too strict, so that it cannot take root in reality.
He said that 326 whistleblower reports have been submitted so far, on the basis of which 25 percent were found to be endangering the public interest.
