UP to determine the responsibility of the officials who carried out the instructions of the OKG

It is necessary to build strong mechanisms for assessing individual responsibility and removing from decision-making positions and from the workforce those officers and officials of the police who abused their powers, acted in the interests of one criminal clan over another, and received and executed instructions from organized criminal groups (OKG). .

Therefore, it is also necessary for the Police Directorate (UP) to devote itself more strongly to determining the responsibility of its own officers.

This is one of the conclusions adopted today by the Committee for the Political System, Judiciary and Administration, on the subject of the actions of the judicial authorities in the case of the lifting of the ban on entering Montenegro for Veljka Belivuk and Marko Miljković, who are charged by the prosecutor's offices of Montenegro and Serbia with the most serious crimes.

The committee, whose president is Momo Koprivica (Democrat), heard representatives of the Government, the security sector and the prosecutor's office in April, on the occasion of the lifting of the entry ban on Belivuk and Miljković.

One of the evaluations of that body is that there is a justified suspicion that the lifting of the ban on Belivuk and Miljković is the result of the abuse of certain competent authorities and officials, "while the entire public testifies that certain police officials and officials acted in the interests of one criminal clan over another." , which is an unprecedented instrumentalization of the civil service".

The Board expects the Prosecutorial Council to objectively investigate the case and present the charges. In the conclusions, it is stated, among other things, that the Assembly believes that there is no essential progress and recovery until each state body faces its past, and that it is necessary to build a system based on the rule of law, which is able to identify officials and officials who they violate the rights of citizens and go beyond their powers.

It was pointed out that it is necessary for the Assembly and its working bodies, and especially the Board, as the main initiator of the control hearing, to continue to carry out its supervisory role, thereby contributing and providing assistance to the state authorities in shedding light on both this and other unsolved cases. .

In the conclusions, it is also written that the Assembly calls on the competent institutions to make an additional effort in solving this and similar cases "which burden the public due to the criminogenic background".

"In this regard, it is necessary to additionally establish the best possible inter-institutional cooperation, both in the collection and exchange of information, as well as in providing the necessary support to those institutions, which have a key role in solving the accumulated illegal acts and deeds, and the solution of which requires additional efforts and eventual expenses", it is stated.

In the conclusions, it is emphasized that the Assembly expresses concern regarding the influence of criminal structures and the exercise of pressure and illegal influence in this case, and therefore considers reforms in the judiciary necessary, and above all the reform of the mechanisms of disciplinary and ethical responsibility in the state-prosecutor organization.

"There must be a mechanism in the system that ensures efficient management, supervision, work control and continuous responsibility of the heads of state prosecutions and state prosecutors. Also, based on the findings at this control hearing, it is necessary to provide the Special State Prosecution Service (SST) with access to all databases of all state bodies and state administration bodies, in accordance with the law. It is necessary from all levels of government to contribute and create conditions for the smooth, independent and efficient functioning of the SDT and the state prosecution organization as a whole," it was ordered.

The board rejected as "anti-systemic and anti-constitutional" the attacks of the former assistant director of the UP Zoran Lazović, his lawyer and other structures on that body and the Assembly in connection with the implementation of the supervisory and control role.

"The board assesses that the association for the purpose of unconstitutional activity, which undermines the authority and democratic potential of the Assembly, is calculated to cause confusion within the institutions of the system and avoid responsibility for abuses," it states.

Koprivica previously said that the committees are obliged to point out all the anomalies in the actions of the authorities, and that no one will stop them from carrying out their supervisory and control role.
