And Obrad Mišo Stanišić broke the law

The Agency for the Prevention of Corruption also determined that the current ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Obrad Mišo Stanišić, violated the Law on Prevention of Corruption when he was a member of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) in the Parliament of Montenegro.

In the decision signed by director Jelena Perović, it is stated that Stanišić did not report the parliamentary variable in his regular annual property record for 2017.

The law stipulates that a public official is obliged to report accurate and complete data, otherwise he will be fined from 500 to 2.000 euros.

With this decision, the agency confirmed the writing of "Vijesti", which announced in May 2018 that at least a third of the deputies of the ruling coalition at the time did not report about 400 euros of variables that they received the year before in their regular annual property records.

Based on the writing of "Vijesti", the Center for Civic Education (CGO) submitted an initiative, but also several urgent ones to the Agency.

It took almost two and a half years for the agency to announce the first decisions against the then DPS MPs Ana Nikolić, Momčilo Martinović, Danijel Živković, Filip Vuković, Bogdan Fatić, Željko Aprcović and Petar Smolović and the vice president of the Assembly Gencij Nimanbegu (Forca).

Two days ago, this institution submitted four more decisions to the CGE, against which it found that the former Vice President of the Assembly Branimir Gvozdenović and three other MPs Maja Bakrač, Radule Novović and Mirsad Murić violated the Law.

The four of them, as can be seen from the decisions submitted by the CGO, after the article in "Vijesti" at the beginning of May 2018, sent additions to the property records to the Agency. However, the Agency has now determined that they were sent after the legal deadline and that they still violated the law.

Stanišić did the same. The decision states that "the omission was caused solely by negligence."

"And that immediately upon learning from the media, he reacted by sending a letter to the Agency about that fact," it is stated in the document that "Vijesti" had access to.

CGO invited the Agency to complete the procedures in the remaining cases as well.

Đurišić and Stanišić broke the law

The agency also established yesterday that the former director of "Barska plovidba" Dušan Đurišić violated the law because he did not submit the property records within two years after leaving office.

In the case of Vukota Stanišić, a member of the Board of Directors of "Fruits of Montenegro", this institution determined that he did not submit the property certificate for the previous year within the legal deadline.

The prescribed fines for both cases range from 500 to 2.000 euros.
