The European Union will submit an initiative to the Parliamentary Committee for Political System, Judiciary and Administration for a control hearing of Justice Minister Bojan Božović, Chief Special Prosecutor Vladimir Novović and Supreme Court President Valentina Pavličić regarding the case of fugitive special prosecutor Lidija Mitrović.
This was stated by European Union MP Nikola Zirojević at today's press conference in the Parliament of Montenegro.
He said that they had no intention of defending anyone who had escaped justice, but that because they were in possession of certain documentation, they believed that there was no problem for representatives of the institutions to respond to the control hearing.
"So far, we have only had the opportunity to hear one side of the story - the one presented by Lidija Mitrović. I expect all MPs on the committee to support this control hearing," Zirojević said.
Zirojević said that they are in possession of documents of a financial nature, and that, based on what they have access to, certain abuses have been committed.
The Police Directorate (PD) announced on February 4 that the Podgorica police are taking measures and actions to find and bring in former special state prosecutor Lidija Mitrović, who did not voluntarily report to serve her prison sentence.
On May 29th of last year, the Court of Appeals upheld the verdict of the Higher Court in Podgorica, which sentenced Mitrović to seven months in prison for the continued criminal offense of abuse of official position, in a repeated court proceeding.
Mitrović was sentenced to this prison sentence on December 23, 2024, at the Higher Court in Podgorica.
An international arrest warrant has also been activated for Mitrović.
On February 8, she said in a statement that her "persecution and suffering" was organized and carried out exclusively by the Chief Special Prosecutor (GST) Vladimir Novović.
