SNP: Confirmation of the deep decline of the judiciary, Katnić to resign

The decision of the High Court to dismiss the part of the indictment for the "Envelope" case that refers to Slavoljub Stijepović is another confirmation of the deep decline of the Montenegrin judiciary and the crisis that has no end in sight, announced the Socialist People's Party (SNP).

"Even the video that was seen by the whole of Montenegro, which clearly proves Stijepović's guilt, was not enough for the Montenegrin judiciary to sanction him in an adequate way. We did not expect that this case would go to the end and that the responsibility of the head of the former government, Milo, would be investigated Đukanović, but we hoped that at least the former mayor of Podgorica would bear the blame for the obvious corruption, the goal of which was to increase the DPS's chances of winning the election," SNP said.

What is completely clear, they believe in that party, is that the Special State Prosecutor's Office "continued with the old practice" of absolving officials of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) from any responsibility, "even in such obvious cases as Koverta".

The SNP called on the chief special prosecutor Milivoje Katnić to resign.

"It would be good if we found out what Milivoje Katnić did and what techniques he used to dilute this case to the extent that the High Court dismissed the indictment against Stijepović. Due to all of the above, as well as the long-term bad results in the fight against high corruption, the SNP of Montenegro again demands Milivoj Katnić's resignation, which he should have submitted a long time ago," the announcement concludes.
