Democratic People's Party (DNP) spokesperson Jovana Todorović announced tonight that the DNP is asking the Director of the Police Administration (UP) Lazar Šćepanović whether he will resign tomorrow when the DNP releases a recording in which, according to the claims, the director of Podgorica's "Vodovod" Aleksandar Nišavić commands municipal police officers and, together with them, tries to break through the fence in order to cause an incident and create "conditions for the reaction of 680 police officers."
Todorović reacted to today's UP statement, which states, among other things, that UP officers intervened in Botun on December 30, 2025, at the request of the Capital City Municipal Police, and that there were no minors among the detained persons.
"Regarding the untrue and deliberately manipulative statement by the Public Works Department, we publicly ask the Director of the Public Works Department, Lazar Šćepanović, whether he will resign when we publish a recording tomorrow in which the Director of the Waterworks Department commands the municipal police officers and, together with them, tries to break through the fence in order to cause an incident and create 'conditions' for the reaction of 680 police officers?" Todorović stated in the statement.
The director of Podgorica's "Vodovod" Aleksandar Nišavić appeared in Botun on December 30, briefly talked with the police, and DNP leader Milan Knežević then told him from the police van that he (Nišavić) had started the incident and told the police that he should be arrested.
On December 31st of last year, "Vijesti" reported that political infighting within the ruling majority, 54 detained people, and the entry of construction machinery onto a plot of land in Botun - the epilogue of an almost two-month protest by Zeta residents against the construction of a wastewater treatment plant.
While the police were "clearing" the area to enable the start of construction in that area, DNP president and MP Milan Knežević announced his departure from the "bloody government" on December 30, and state parliament speaker Andrija Mandić (Nova) stated that the December 30 action against the people of Botunja had threatened peace in Montenegro.
All citizens who were detained on December 30th were released after giving statements.
The citizens of Botuni began gathering on Monday evening, December 29th, after a "tip" that on December 30th, the Podgorica Municipal Police would attempt to clear the plot where tents had been set up since November 14th...
Municipal police officers, the director of the Podgorica-based company "Water Supply and Sewerage" Aleksandar Nišavić, with machines and accompanied by the Ambulance and Protection and Rescue Services, arrived in Botun at 3:55 a.m. on December 30th, to introduce the contractor to the construction of the facility.
