The Civic Movement (GP) URA demands the immediate release of Dilaver Kučević and an end to the persecution of honest people in Ulcinj, the party announced.
They said that they strongly condemn the actions of the Police Directorate (UP) and the Prosecutor's Office, which, according to the GP URA, are carrying out repression against the citizens of Ulcinj "who on Saturday magnificently stood up to defend their city and the right to a dignified life."
The URA Police Department said that institutions should deal with "those who are truly breaking the law and destroying this country, instead of prosecuting citizens who are protesting the sale of the most valuable resources."
"The shameful decision to keep Ulcinj resident Dilaver Kučević in a 'concrete mixer' for 72 hours due to false accusations that he attacked Nikšić councillor Jelena Marković represents the pinnacle of political abuse of institutions. This councillor, without any legitimacy or invitation from the organisers, came from Nikšić to protest in Ulcinj with a clearly provocative banner, which has nothing to do with the topic of the gathering, insulted those present and even physically pushed one of the speakers. She occupied the space in front of the stage, without the organisers' permission, with the obvious intention of causing incidents and disrupting the unity of the citizens of Ulcinj," the statement reads.

The URA Police Station claims that Kučević did not have physical contact with Marković, nor did he threaten or insult her.
"He was detained and detained solely on the basis of false accusations of threats and endangering security. The person who reported him does not live in Ulcinj, has never been in contact with him before, and there is no basis on which it could be claimed that he is being threatened or that there is a danger to her. Dilaver Kučević has never been detained in his life, there are no criminal charges against him, nor has he ever given a statement to the police - not even as a citizen. He is an honest man who has never harmed anyone. His only 'sin' is that he is the godfather of Dritan Abazović, the former prime minister, and he is obviously trying to get even with him politically in that way," said the URA Police Station.
"The Constitution and laws of Montenegro are clear: under Article 264 of the Criminal Procedure Code, detention for up to 72 hours is possible only if there is a reasonable suspicion that a criminal offense has been committed and that there is a risk of escape, repetition of the offense or influence on witnesses. None of that exists here. Also, under the Criminal Code, for prosecution on the grounds of threat, violence or violation of public order, there must be a real threat or serious harassment - which is not the case here," it added.
The URA Police Headquarters state that such conduct represents a direct violation of the law, "obvious political pressure and further proof that our institutions are trapped in party chains."
"While criminals, rapists and murderers walk freely, innocent citizens who raise their voices against the sale of state property are treated as criminals," said the URA Police Station.
