The Parliamentary Anti-corruption Committee will hold a control hearing of the representatives of the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption, which concerns the action taken according to the judgments of the Administrative Court, which mainly relate to the assets of the president Milo Đukanović.
"If we are dealing with cases of whether someone reported two square meters more or less and we punish him severely, then it seems to me that it is okay to deal with watches that are worth half a million or a million euros," said the deputy chairman of the Committee Dragan Bojović (Democratic Front). His proposal was supported by six members of the government, while four from the opposition abstained.
In the proposal, he highlighted several cases related to the president of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), among which are property in Kočani, the value of watches, multiple trips, non-declaration of companies...
It is reasoned that the proposal also refers to the case of the legality of the income of the former Minister of Defense, and the current deputy of the DPS Predrag Bošković from international handcraft organizations. "Vijesti" previously wrote about these cases.
The Rules of Procedure of the Assembly stipulate that the representatives of the state authorities who are invited are obliged to respond to the invitation for the control hearing and to submit the requested documentation. The President of the Committee proposes conclusions regarding the hearing, and that working body expresses its opinion on the report and proposed conclusions and submits it to the Assembly for adoption.
President of the Board Daliborka Pejović (DPS) said at the session that she received the initiative for a joint control hearing of the Minister of Defense Oliver Injac from the President of the Security and Defense Committee Milan Knežević (DF).
Members of the government, with the exception of Maksim Vučinić from the Workers' Party, voted against holding the control hearing of the minister.
Bojović assessed that this is not necessary, while he is a member of parliament Luiđ Škrelja (DPS) replied that the Special State Prosecutor's Office requested the removal of the minister's immunity and that "the request for a control hearing was not well founded" and Danijel Zivkovic added that "there is no need for Injac to protect himself from us, because Injac was in the ranks of the DPS".
The authorities also supported a consultative hearing on the effectiveness of the work of the Agency and the prosecution in the implementation of the European agenda prescribed by chapters 23 and 24, and all MPs supported the proposal of the President of the Committee to hold a consultative hearing on the topic of the latest report of the European Commission.
The topic of yesterday's Board session was the Agency's second quarterly report.
Prophet Jovan Vučurović (DF) asked the Council and the Director of the Agency Jelena Perović to resign.
"You do not have the support of the Parliament of Montenegro, this composition of the Agency. You can refer to any reports, but this is the bare truth, which was confirmed by that vote, whether it was legal or not," he said at the session, alluding to the fact that the Board had not previously supported the report on the work of the Agency for the past year.
Previously, he was the president of the Council Momcilo Radulović pointed out that voting on that document was not possible, because such a possibility is not prescribed by the acts.
"Individuals cannot rise above party functions. And the facts about our work speak for themselves", said Radulović, stating that the Agency is the only institution that received praise from the head of the European Union Delegation. Oana Christina Pope.
