LP on mistreatment of Albanian citizens: Adžić is expected to offer his resignation

The unpleasant scenes witnessed by the public on the video in which a police officer at the border crossing mistreats and humiliates a foreign citizen, a citizen of Albania, even physically attacks him, are a shame for everyone in Montenegro, the Liberal Party (LP) announced today.

"Although the Police Directorate has announced that it is already investigating this case, more up-to-date steps must be taken and the officer must be immediately sanctioned for endangering the safety and honor of citizens as well as degrading the reputation of the state of Montenegro, the case must not remain hidden. Due to the sensitivity of the case, it is expected that he will offer his resignation and the Minister of the Interior, Filip Adžić, who must feel the greatest professional, political and hierarchical responsibility for such events," the LP statement points out.

From that party, they added that the behavior of the Montenegrin police, especially those at the country's borders, must be at the highest level, professionally and ethically.

"The police is an apparatus at the service of citizens, but also of all those who come to our country, as well as their security. Especially when it comes to the border police, which is the first image that everyone gets of Montenegro," said the LP.

They state that the reputation of the state of Montenegro and its police, as well as the reputation and dignity of all citizens and those who come to Montenegro as guests, must be protected at the highest level, sending a clear message that such incidents are unacceptable.
