Podgorica police officers informed the on-duty basic prosecutor and the Higher State Prosecutor's Office about the details of the report by President Jakov Milatović, who stated that he was threatened with messages tonight by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development Nik Đeljošaj.
The police are awaiting the prosecutor's decision on whether Đeljošaj's actions contain elements to initiate criminal or misdemeanor proceedings.
The Office of the President of Montenegro announced that Deputy Prime Minister Nik Đeljošaj sent a series of threats and inappropriate messages to President Jakov Milatović, immediately after it was announced that the head of state had returned the Law on Real Estate Tax to the Parliament for reconsideration.
Milatović's cabinet called on Prime Minister Milojko Spajić tonight to immediately dismiss Đeljošaj, and everything, as announced, has also been reported to the director of the Police Directorate.
Đeljošaj issued a statement saying that Milatović was trying to use the accusations to divert the topic from what he had intended to publish, which was that Milatović refused to sign the Law on Real Estate Tax, as he wrote, "due to his godfather connections with Nebojša Vuksanović", the former president of the Board of Directors of the company "13. jul - Plantaže", "in order to obtain personal benefit for himself and him".
"Vijesti" was told by the office of the president that Vuksanović is not Milatović's best man. He is hired as an associate in the office of the president of Montenegro.
It was not clear from Đeljošaj's statement what benefit Milatović could have, since Vuksanović is no longer on the board of "Plantaža".
As announced today, Milatović returned the Law on Real Estate Tax due to, as he claims, a violation of the Constitution, legal uncertainty and the possibility that 22.000 farmers will lose tax breaks.
Following Đeljošaj's claims, the President of the State published on the X network a correspondence with the Deputy Prime Minister, who addressed the Head of State in an inappropriate manner.
In the messages, among other things, Đeljošaj wrote: "You shouldn't have gotten into this, and expect a reaction from Albanians at all levels and wherever we have influence," and then continued: "But you will get the answer you deserve"...
At the end of May this year, Đeljošaj was found guilty by a first-instance decision of the Basic Court because it was found that he had repeatedly defamed Television Vijesti journalist Danilo Ajković in December 2022, claiming that he was "working on orders and taking money for false reports."
Judge Ivana Martić ordered Đeljošaj to pay Ajković 1.800 euros for the damage to his reputation and honor.
