The Association of Professional Journalists of Montenegro invites colleagues to pay their respects to the martyred editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Dan" today. Duško Jovanović, whose liquidation, they say, is one of the shameful stains on the face of the state of Montenegro.
"Colleagues, let's light candles tonight at 23.45:XNUMX p.m. at the place where Jovanović was liquidated and in this way repeat once again - we ask for his murder to be resolved, but also for all attacks on journalists. What did the State Prosecutor's Office do with the recommendations of the Commission for Investigation of Attacks on Journalists, what happened to the witness who was willing to speak about the crime against the editor of "Dana", did the prosecutors take the statement or did they dismiss it as irrelevant even though it was reliable in another case? How long will the police and the prosecution ignore the evidence and be justified for bad work, as happened in this investigation as well," said the press release of Mila Radulović, general secretary of DNP.
They state that the family of the murdered journalist has the right to justice, but "there is no justice as long as one co-perpetrator is the cover for the murderer, the principal and the motive for the liquidation".
"Let's remind you that little justice wants to be defiled by attempts to grant amnesty to the convicted Damir Mandić and get out of prison early. There were two such attempts and we do not believe that they will be abandoned. Because as long as he remains silent about the crime, some reward will be given to him he is probably preparing for that. Four days ago, the criminal prosecution of those who beat Mladen Stojović became obsolete, the attackers were rewarded with it, as well as the prosecutors and the police because no one calls them to account for bad work. It has been almost three weeks since Olivera was wounded Lakić, the victim of a repeated attack. The public does not know whether the police and prosecutors have broken the deadlock when it comes to finding the attacker, the motive. And the highest government officials have promised us that this will be a priority. If the investigation is a murder, an attack on journalists and pulling a gun on a journalist is a priority, then what should the injured parties and victims who are not to hope for?", Radulović concludes in the statement.
