"At the meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey, Hakan Fidan, it was agreed that the soon official visit of the President of Montenegro to Ankara, at the invitation of the Turkish President Erdogan, as well as the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement, which is a confirmation of the good relations between the two countries. However, during the conversation, the Turkish side expressed concern due to the non-extradition of their citizen Binali Camgoz, accused of serious criminal offenses in the field of organized crime," reads the post on Milatović's profile.
Camgoza is wanted by Turkey on charges of serious organized crime.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrej Milović refused to extradite him, referring to the European Convention on Human Rights and the practice of the European Court of Human Rights, claiming that Camgoz would be exposed to political persecution in Turkey because he is a Kurd, and that he would not be able to receive proper treatment in prison. .
In the meantime, Camgoz has been accused by Montenegrin authorities of other criminal acts related to passport forgery, and his stay has been hampered by security problems and high costs for Montenegrin taxpayers.
