European Union (EU) representative Nikola Zirojević announced that he had received a threatening letter and announced that he would therefore again request an urgent assessment of his and his family's security from the Police Directorate.
Zirojević said that the threatening letter arrived at the premises of the EC MPs' club on Monday.
"The letter refers, it seems to me somewhat expected, to my last discussion in the plenum with Defense Minister Dragan Krapović," Zirojević said at a press conference of the EC MPs' club.
He said that the letter, among other things, stated that "the murderers could go crazy."
"That they ask me in person to join them in some kind of gang. It is also stated that if they mistake me for a Chetnik or a partisan from the forest, they could kidnap me for ransom. And the most disgusting thing in the letter is the following, I quote - return to the fold of honor, you will fall to your knees, put your tongue in your mouth, so that your house is not deserted," said Zirojević.
He said that the letter, in its entirety, presents clear, precise and very direct threats directed at him and his family.
"Given that it was written as a tribute to the Minister of Defense in some way, it seems easy to guess which kitchen this comes from," Zirojević said.
According to him, the intention is quite clear.
"Attempt to stop me from performing my parliamentary duties by threatening the safety of me and my family. Those who bark from the plenum during the day and from bot profiles at night seem to have found a new way of acting as the elections approach and have started sending anonymous threatening letters," said Zirojević.
He added that they have a "pretty clear answer" to this letter.
"On the same day this letter arrived, my attorney, attorney Srđan Lješković, filed another lawsuit, this time with the Basic Court in Podgorica, against Defense Minister Dragan Krapović regarding the aforementioned events, seeking compensation for non-pecuniary damage, due to violation of honor, reputation and personal rights," said Zirojević.
He added that if a verdict is reached, the defendant is obligated to pay all the money awarded by the court to the "Mladost" Home for Uncared Children in Bijela.
Zirojević said that this sends a very clear message that the goal of the lawsuits is not to gain any material benefit.
"Because of all the above, I will ask the Police Directorate to urgently conduct a security assessment for me and my family again. This is so that we do not end up in a situation where we have to organize ourselves to protect ourselves, and we are capable of doing that in the future if necessary," said Zirojević.
He stated that six months ago he also requested a security assessment from the Police Directorate, adding that the request was taken rather lightly at the time.
Zirojević said that the threatening letter was sent through the Montenegrin Post Office.
"With the postage stamp, it was submitted to the Post of Montenegro on July 18th of this year, so four days ago. Judging by the number, it can be concluded that it was submitted to this post office here, on Slobode Street," said Zirojević.
He added that the letter was signed, but that it was a pseudonym, not the real name and surname of the sender.
SD MP Boris Mugoša, answering questions from journalists, said that a parliamentary session was supposed to be held today with the agenda items that they agreed on a few days ago.
He said that the plenary debate was postponed at the request of certain constituents of the majority.
"So it should continue tomorrow," Mugoša said.
Speaking about the reconstruction of the Government, he said that there is no proposal for reconstruction in the parliamentary procedure.
Mugoša added that they should first receive that proposal so they can discuss it.
"As for our opinion on the third reconstruction in this mandate, I think they are modest, that 32 members of the Government are really not enough for a country of 600 thousand inhabitants. Jokes aside - classic arrogance, you know what they promised the citizens, and in the end what those citizens get - from the most cumbersome to an even more cumbersome government," Mugoša said.
He added that there is no logic in separating the sports and youth departments.
"But I think that logic is not a crucial thing for them," Mugoša said.
