Lawyer from Moscow Oleg Evdokimov claims that he cannot see his three children, nor can he peek into the house he bought for them in Sutomore, despite the ruling that he can take care of them.
He told "Vijesti" that the court in Saint Petersburg ruled in his favor, after the mother of the children, his unmarried wife, was deported from Montenegro to Russia, where she ended up in prison.
He says that the children live in Sutomore with their grandparents, his unmarried wife's parents and stepfather, who do not even allow him to see them.
Evdokimov claims that he bought the house, and then gave three quarters of it to the children, who have been living in Sutomor with their mother since 2011.
"On December 23, 2015, the court in St. Petersburg ruled in my favor to take over the children and take care of them, because the mother is in prison, and I am their parent and I am in a difficult situation. At first instance, the Montenegrin court has already equated this verdict with your legislation, therefore, it has confirmed, however, I still cannot reach the children", he told "Vijesta".
Edvokimov, through a legal representative, initiated proceedings in the Basic Court in Bar, in which he requests the imposition of a temporary measure to take care of the children.
He claims that he previously gave his house in St. Petersburg to his children and that he asked the Bar court that the stepfather leave the house in Sutomore.
He says that one child is nine years old, and the twins are seven years old.
The father claims that the children are staying illegally, he also addressed the Embassy
Evdokimom says that the problem is also that his children are in fact illegally staying in Montenegro.
"Because they were registered in the mother's passport, which expired two years ago. This means that they do not have any official document with them now. I want to solve it, I informed the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Podgorica about everything. I was told that they will issue passports to the children, but they need their photos, and I can't even get that from my grandparents. When I came to Sutomore, they didn't let me enter the yard," he said.
