The session of the Security and Defense Committee at which the control hearing was held regarding the case of seizure of around 500 kilograms of cocaine ended, and after it the Deputy Prime Minister Dritan Abazović said that the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SST) presented a new, different report to the members of that parliamentary body.
The session was held behind closed doors in the so-called "deaf room".
Abazović said that his message to the members of the Committee was that we should be happy that so much cocaine was seized in the last five months.
He also said that he thinks that these quantities of cocaine are the result of transnational crime.
"When it comes to the connection that concerns me personally, I think that it is clear to all the members of the Committee that it is ridiculous. The fact that the Prime Minister did not come, and he had the opportunity to come in front of the members of the Committee and the cameras, says these facts," he said. Abazovic.
He said that the President of the Board, Milan Knežević, asked several very logical questions to the Chief Special Prosecutor, Milivoj Katnić, and that his thoughts were similar.
"The dilemma that turned out to be why the SDT did not take the case in which 1,2 tons of cocaine was seized, but the case of the seizure of cocaine in Voli. If it is not organized crime, but only two men from Zeta are to blame, then it should be from Zeta prime minister for life," said Abazović.
Previously, Knežević said that the president should be from Zeta.
Abazović said that Katnić's assumption was that there were drugs in the missing loads.
"Where the organizers are and where the smugglers are, we have to get to them. Until now, we couldn't even get to the cocaine," said Abazović.
"If someone thinks that the system will transform overnight, just because the leader has changed, then they are mistaken," Abazović said.
He said that the SDT ran to take the case at one in the evening as if it were wartime, but that they did not do it.
Knežević: Someone has to end up in an insane asylum
Knežević said that after more than four hours, the session ended, where the report was unanimously adopted.
He said that he came to the conclusion that someone must end up in an insane asylum.
"Either we who listened or those who communicated the details to us," Knežević said.
He said that after today's session, he claims that freight forwarder Đoko Drobnjak is not the only culprit and that he should defend himself from freedom.
He said that there are so many unknowns in that case, but that they found out that neither Izet Rastoder nor Dragan Bokan were heard in that case.
He also said that Drobnjak passed the polygraph, just like members of the Krstović family.
"It seems to me that someone is trying to single out the Krstović family as the main culprits, Knežević said.
He also asked why SDT did not react in the same way in those two cases.
Krivokapić did not attend
Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić, Director of the Police Administration Zoran Brđanin and Director of the National Security Agency Dejan Vukšić said that they have information prepared specially for today, which is classified as secret.
That is why the deputies voted by majority vote that the session be closed to the public.
In addition to Katnić, special prosecutor Miroslav Turković, head of the Special Police Department Dragan Radonjić came to the session.
The session was also attended by the Deputy Prime Minister and coordinator of security services, Dritan Abazović.
Before the beginning of the session, the president of that parliamentary body, Milan Knežević, asked Katnić whether representatives of the prosecution would present secret information, in order to close the session to the public.
Before the start of the session, Knežević told Bosniak Party MP Ervin Ibrahimović that he too was searched at the border this morning: "They stripped me," he said.
Ibrahimović replied that it would be good if they were exchanged, for him to convert to Orthodoxy and Knežević to Islam.
The President of the Committee replied that he would then immediately enter the Government, become Vice-President and go to Istanbul to get his hair transplanted, and that Ibrahimović would be stuck in the opposition.
Katnić then told Knežević that he would have to respect some other customs as well.
Knežević congratulated the former president of the Social Democrats on holding the third congress, and the latter thanked him, adding that his congratulation was significant.
"The 11.000 euros is also significant," answered Knežević, who is just opening the 27th session of the Board.
Of those invited to the control hearing, only the Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapić did not come to the hearing.
He sent a letter to the Board informing them that he would not respond to their invitation.
In the letter, he stated that he had already stated the reasons several times.
"This is not unknown as far as the Committee for Security and Defense is concerned, but I believe that regardless of the letter he submitted, we can determine the change in the agenda," he said, adding that the others who responded could be heard.
Knežević said that the topic is so important that the hearing should not be postponed even because of Krivokapić.
The leader of the Social Democratic Party, Rasko Konjević, said that he would support that proposal, but that it would be good to declare whether there are elements of secrecy, in order to close the session to the public.
The leader of the Social Democratic Party, Rasko Konjević, said that he would support that proposal, but that it would be good to declare whether there are elements of secrecy, in order to close the session to the public.
He also said that it would be good to discuss it before the Montenegrin public.
Knežević invited the guests to declare whether there is a need for the session to be held in a deaf room.
Katnić said that in the case for which they were summoned, a decision was made regarding the secrecy of the proceedings, and that even those who find out all the information are obliged to keep the information confidential.
He also explained what they could announce today, and that is what they have already announced, and that they can announce other information only in the so-called "deaf room".
Brđanin said that the police are an integral part of that procedure and that they must respect the law on confidentiality.
"We are open to share everything that we can, and what is secret information, we can only do so in the area marked by the degree of secrecy," said Brđanin.
Vukšić said that he will not make a special statement, because ANB has information prepared specially for today, which is classified as secret.
He also suggested that the session be closed to the public.
MP Marko Milačić said that one part of the story about the seizure of cocaine in Voli is widely public and he agrees that one part of the topics must be kept secret.
"I understand that Mr. Katnić, who is acting as a spokesman for Voli, wants it to be secret, because that is his interest, because that is how he behaved at the press conference," said Milacic, who called for a part of the Committee to be made public.
He said that Montenegro should not be a "deaf room" and that it must hear. He asked that one part of the session be public.
"Whoever wants to fight Milivoj Katnić will sit next to him, whoever wants to fight Dritan Abazović will sit next to him. There is no separation. We will watch," Knežević said.
Katnić said that those who want to fight with him should sit next to Radonjić, because he is his deputy.
Knežević said that others can also choose a replacement, but that the rules have been adopted that there is no separation, because he calculated that more than three hours were lost to the separation.
Milacic asked Abazovic to state whether he was in favor of the session being secret.
Knežević said that the position of the vice president will not be decisive, but he gave him his word.
"Not to be too long, as far as I'm concerned, I would like the session to have two parts. That is, to have an open part. I think the public expects some spectacular answers, which they won't get, but as far as I'm concerned, I'd like the session to be open ... I would like for not only the 15 of us to hear a story, but for it to have a broader character," said Abazović.
Deputies voted by majority vote that the session be closed to the public.
