The leader of the Civic Movement (GP) URA, Dritan Abazović, said that the guilt related to the escape of convicted organized crime group leader Miloš Medenica lies exclusively within the responsibility of the Police Administration (UP), and that the main responsibility does not lie with the National Security Agency (ANB).
As announced by GP URA, Abazović said this in his author's podcast "Friday with Dritan".
The URA Border Police announced that Abazović said that the escape of convicted organized crime group leader Miloš Medenica was a huge security lapse because it was a long-awaited verdict for organized crime, stating that he believed it would not have been possible without helpers.
They added that Abazović stated that this was primarily an oversight and the main responsibility of the Police Department, and then of the National Security Agency, which carries out counterintelligence surveillance.
"This is a huge security lapse. The guilt related to Miloš Medenica's escape lies exclusively within the responsibility of the Police Directorate. Does the ANB have a role in this? It does, and let's not play dead. They do not bear the main responsibility, but they are, among other things, the body that carries out counterintelligence protection," said Abazović.
The leader of the URA Police Station said that due to this huge oversight, no one will likely resign and that the excuse that the police do not have enough officers is not a relevant argument.
He reportedly drew a parallel with the situation when Montenegro was supposed to extradite Turkish citizen Binali Çamgoz, stating that many had forgotten about him, and he was very important to this government, because they probably had deals with him.
"When his extradition was to be carried out, two police officers sat in front of his apartment the whole time. Back then, the Police Directorate did not have more officers than it does now. And you know when those people from the Democrats mention that vetting – this is their vetting. Bringing in people whose goal is to protect organized crime in Montenegro. So now the whole rest of the story is actually a story for little children. My message to the Police Directorate – while you are looking for Miloš Medenica, also look for Aleksa Bečić, the Deputy Prime Minister in charge of security, because he has also disappeared in the meantime," added the leader of the GP URA.
URE added that Abazović reminded that the heads of the Police Directorate and the security sector are the people who lost the monument to Chetnik duke Pavle Đurišić.
Abazović said that these people, including the Prime Minister, are undermining the shaky reputation of state institutions, and that Miloš Medenica has done more damage to the government than the Democratic People's Party (DNP) leaving power.
When asked by citizens who the police would find first, Miloš Medenica or Pavle Đurišić, he said it would be a dead heat.
He assessed that it was good that the DNP formalized its departure from power and that they should have done so on December 30th of last year, when the brutal police intervention took place.
"Bringing 600 police officers to one village is a characteristic of weak regimes. I don't think it can be solved that way at four in the morning," he added, responding to a question from citizens.
He explained that the DNP's move into opposition is a good thing for Montenegro so that the Milojko Spajić government, which he called "sloppy", will fall apart as soon as possible if we want to put the country back on the right track.
"Let us all contribute, to simply do everything that we failed to do on August 30th, which is to change the country for the better, to strengthen it institutionally, to make it more functional, better, and to deal with some real issues," he added.
Abazović spoke about what Montenegro could learn from Slovenia, from where he traveled because he was awarded the title of "Ambassador of Knowledge" in recent days.
"It is a country that is quite similar to Montenegro in some ways, it has a green note that is very dear to me and that I believe we should practice more. Go, see what topics the government and society in Slovenia are discussing. These should also be topics in Montenegro. Let's adjust our behavior if we want to defend an ecological country and the environment, to devote ourselves more to our own business, not someone else's. Let's see how we can create some companies, some of which I visited, for example the GEN-I company that sells electricity. People make 100 million transactions a year, related to electricity, gas and partly to oil. Well, it was an honor to watch 150 young people sitting at computers and negotiating deals on various stock exchanges, both short-term and long-term," he said.
He said that Slovenia is not far from Montenegro:
"Let us dedicate ourselves to the development of our country. Let us compete with programs. Here is our program Montenegro 365. Let us compete with other political options with programs, development, ideas - in energy, in tourism, in ecology, in infrastructure. That is what I would like to see. Slovenia is also an excellent example because people have somehow shown that only through solidarity and love for their country can they do great things and that the voice of their country, regardless of the fact that it does not have a large population, can be heard far and wide. That is a model that Montenegro should inherit and I am very grateful for the recognition presented by the professor. I believe that two things win and I want to share that with you - love and knowledge," he said.
