Aleksa Bečić, the holder of the "Aleksa i Dritan - Hrabro se broji" coalition list, said that the Democrats and the URA will continue to insist on shedding light on the murder of "Dana" editor Duško Jovanović and that they will do their best to find evidence in order to "the black stain from the face of Montenegro washed away at least a little".
"The unexplained death of the brave Duško Jovanović reminds us year after year how much work is ahead of us in order to establish justice, democracy and the work of institutions in Montenegro. Democrats know that without clarification, who is the orderer, the executor and which individuals from party-compromised institutions are sold both themselves and their face in order that the truth of this brutal murder would never be revealed, there would be no normal state, no entry into the European Union, no peace among people.
"Since the founding of our party, elucidating the murder of Duško Jovanović is one of the topics we insist on, and we insist on it especially now that the institutions are freed and together with us fight against the mafia, corruption and all those individuals who helped all those crimes within state institutions of which this is certainly one of the worst. That's why we don't need reports from Freedom House and warnings from European institutions that we have to work on this if we want to move forward. We don't need anyone to tell us that, we know that this monstrous crime must be brought to light and that is our main message, that is the purpose of our political activity. It seems to some that we have to let go, that it is not good to return to the past, but we, the Democrats, insist on it and consider it the most important point of a bright future," he said. Becic.
He said that Jovanović was killed because he fought for democracy.
"Of course it is important for us that family and friends and fellow journalists get those important answers, of course it is important for us to close the circle so that the memory of the brave Duško is even clearer and more honorable, but it is also important for all of us, for our citizens, for the sake of our society, which can only be mature and ready to develop both economically and socially if it is clarified.
"Duško Jovanović was a journalist who was brutally murdered because he fought for democracy based on freedom of thought, speech and independent journalism. He is a man who did his job honestly and diligently, and because of that he was killed. The atmosphere that reigned then gave birth to was such events, but it also gave birth to the fact that even today, 19 years later, we do not know how it was all organized and who worked so successfully to hide it. The people who did nothing to shed light on this murder are no longer they ask in the country, but they still go to the elections legitimately and motivated, and it is said that they may be part of the future government.
"That's why today we invite the citizens to pay respect to the brave journalist Duško Jovanović, but also to dedicate a prayer in our hearts today to his family and our society, and to remember once again that what we had we will never have again. We Democrats and Hooray and our Coalition will bravely insist on elucidating that murder, as it has until now, and we will do our best to find evidence so that this black stain from the face of Montenegro can be washed off at least a little," concluded Bečić.
