Knežević asked why there is no money for bloodshed and weapons in the files, Pažin will not comment

"The only proof that there was a weapon is the word of honor of Paja Velimiorivć, who, on the order of (Milivoj) Katnić, bought it in Kosovo and destroyed it in some kind of lake, and the only proof is the word of honor of Saša Sinđelić that there were 125,5 thousand euros given to him by Edi in order to carry out that coup", said Knežević

The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice, Zoran Pažin, announced that he has never, nor will he, comment on the material evidence presented during the ongoing court proceedings.

Democratic Front MP Milan Knežević asked Pažin in the parliament, during the prime minister's hour, "how is it possible that the 125,5 thousand euros with which the biggest bloodshed in the history of Montenegro was planned is not in the case file and how is it possible that there are no weapons?" .

"The only proof that there was a weapon is the word of honor of Paja Velimiorivć, who, on the order of (Milivoj) Katnić, bought it in Kosovo and destroyed it in some kind of lake, and the only proof is the word of honor of Saša Sinđelić that there were 125,5 thousand euros given to him by Edi in order to carry out that coup", said Knežević.

Pažin asked the Speaker of the Parliament, Ivan Brajović, whether this form corresponds to the content of the parliamentary question, in accordance with the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly.

As Pažin said, the question asked does not correspond to the content of the question he received, and has no explanation.

Pažin stated that in the case of Knežević, there is a wrong assumption which, as he adds, necessarily leads to the wrong conclusion - that he has anything to do with the alleged staging of the coup, as Knežević says.

Equally, as Pažin said, it is incorrect for him to comment on the material evidence presented during the ongoing court proceedings.

Pažin, as he stated, refrains from doing so, and appreciates everything that the Code of Criminal Procedure has given to Knežević as a right of a party in the proceedings in which he participates.

"Never until now, and not even today, will I get involved in the legal evaluation of the material evidence presented in court. I will not do that because in that way I respect not only you as participants in the proceedings, but also the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Constitution and binding conventions, international legal instruments," said Pažin.

Knežević said that he asked the question in accordance with the Rules of Procedure, stating that he was not obliged to give an explanation.

"I don't think that even the technical service of the Assembly would allow a question that is not in accordance with the Rules of Procedure to be asked," said Knežević.

Brajović said that he should narrow down the matter to one question, and not "mention 15 questions that cannot be answered".

Knžević said that he asked a specific question, to which he did not receive an answer.
