If Milan Knežević insists that he should be thrown off the bridge, if Luka Rakčević is a candidate for mayor, we will not throw him off the bridge, let him not invite us to negotiations, said the President of the URA GP Dritan Abazović.
Commenting on the statements of the leader of the Democratic People's Party (DNP), Milan Knežević, that if the condition of the GP URA is that Luka Rakčević be the mayor, they can freely negotiate with the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), and that he should be thrown off the Blaž bridge if he supports Rakčević for mayor, Abazović said that there was no need to throw anyone off the bridge, and that he never took Knežević's statements seriously.
"It was never our goal for Milan Knežević to jump off the bridge, he is a poet, but in poetry it would mean that there was some great unrequited love, so someone had to jump off the bridge. There is no great love between DF and URA, so that he can be relaxed," Abazović said in a guest appearance on the Television of Montenegro.
He expects Knežević to keep his word and, if he keeps to that, not to invite them to negotiations.
"If he insists that he should be thrown off the bridge if Luka Rakčević is a candidate for mayor. Here we are not going to throw him off the bridge, let him not invite us to negotiations. It does not occur to us to be the rags of Andrija Mandić, Milojko Spajić, Aleksa Bečić or Milo Đukanović, here are the councilors, so let them form the government," says Abazović.
Knežević's statement, Abazović adds, implies that DF is the best teammate of DPS.
"Rakčević's refusal means only one thing, that is that Milan Knežević and the DF want the DPS to return to power," says Abazović.
Abazović pointed out that the Montenegrin security sector is in disarray, and that the citizens are in mild fear.
"We are still looking for the fugitive who committed a double murder in Bijelo Polje, we returned the confrontation of criminal clans to the streets, last night we had a shooting in Kotor...", he says.
"The government motivates criminals, they try to shift the blame to the courts"
According to Abazović, not only the Democrats are to blame for the current situation in the country, but also the Government.
"Now they are trying to shift all the blame to the courts, and that is not true. In 2023, you did not have a single criminal or mafia murder in Montenegro. The courts were the same or worse than they are now. It is a matter of the atmosphere. This government has incompetence motivates criminals, so that they move from the defensive sphere they were in to the offensive," said Abazović.
Abazović emphasized that he is afraid that the situation will worsen.
"They claim that they have the greatest support in history, and they do, but they also do not have the courage, knowledge, ability, nor does anyone despise them, there is not a single criminal in Montenegro who thinks that there are enemies in the government for criminal activities. There are only people who are afraid of SDT and SPO", claims Abazović.
When asked if he, given that he was the prime minister at the time when the affair happened when a tunnel was dug in the city center to the High Court, has the right to point the finger at anyone else, Abazović said that it was true that the big problem was digging tunnels, that the security of the courts is not at a high level, that some items were stolen there, and that it will be seen what the investigation will show.
"However, due to some fortunate circumstances, it did not cause any major problem in the sense of jeopardizing the safety of citizens," said Abazović.
"The biggest success is that we had 2023 criminal murders in Montenegro in 0," said Abazović.
Asked if he felt any responsibility after Budimir Krstović and Marina Krstović were acquitted of cocaine smuggling charges, Abazović said that he did not feel any responsibility, but only responsibility for the delivered results.
"Miodrag Laković, when he was the head of the drug sector, seized a total of 500 grams of drugs. I didn't even conduct investigations against Krstović. Neither the court nor the prosecution, they found 400 kilograms of drugs in their possession, and what else needs to be done Abazović said.
When asked why he invited Miodrag Laković as an advisor, Abazović said that he invited him because he was ranked second in the competition for the director of the Police Administration.
He pointed out that he would not be surprised if the Bemax company also finances part of the current government.
"I have nothing against the company Bemax, as a company. I said there are three people at the top of the criminal pyramid, and I am going to trial with them, they are Zoran Lazović, Ranko Ubović and Aco Mijajlović, two of them will be prosecuted in 2024. I expect that the third will reach him of justice," he pointed out.
According to Abazović, the war between the 43rd Government and Bemax began with the decision to make the largest seizure of confiscated cigarettes in Europe on May 12, 2022, when 148 thousand packages were seized in the Port of Bar.
That, says Abazović, was an atomic bomb between the Government and organized crime. He added that when the 44th Government throws even a firecracker at organized crime, he will be the first to praise them.
"Authority to check which associates of the mafia have property in Dubai"
Abazović told the new government to look at who has property in Dubai, which companies are connected in Dubai, as well as which of our citizens have property there and are connected to OKG.
"I appeal to the new government, when they are so capable, let them look at who has property in Dubai, which companies are connected in Dubai, which of our citizens have property there and are connected to OKG," Abazović said.
When asked to say who it was, he replied that he would not do someone else's work.
Asked when GP URA will come out with the platform that he is preparing together with the Movement for Podgorica, Abazović said that the elections in Budva delayed the situation, because all the parties are focused on Sunday when the elections are held in that city, but that when they have a platform they will go out with her in public.
