The Agency for the Prevention of Corruption found that he is a former judge of the Constitutional Court Hamdija Šarkinović violated the Law on Prevention of Corruption because he did not declare all income and assets.

The law stipulates that a public official is obliged to report accurate income and assets, otherwise he will be fined from 500 to 2.000 euros.

In the case of Šarkinović, it was established that he did not report 250 euros from Matica Montenegrin, his wife's income Rabije Šarkinović about 300 euros less, as well as the shares they have in the Eurofund.

"Šarkinović stated that he does not have any contract with Matica Montenegrin. For five full years, he has been providing them with unpaid work, and the amount of 150 and 99,99 euros probably refers to the last two works he delivered to them, the amounts of which he did not know," the statement states. When it comes to his wife's income, he said that they used the information obtained from the accounting department of the Institute for Education and that he therefore had no reason to show a lower or higher amount.

Šarkinović's position ended last year.

The same legal provisions were violated by the judge of the Rožaj Basic Court Milan Rajkovic. According to the Agency's decision, the judge reported less income by around 180 euros, and did not report his share of several thousand square meters of land in Plav.

Rajković said that it is true that when filling out the data, he did not report the entire amount of salary, but that he presented the income based on the data he received via SMS from the bank, not taking into account that "the income is the remuneration that is deducted from the salary of the Association of Judges and for the Trade Union of Administration and Justice in the total annual amount of 181 euros, which is why the difference appeared". He also submitted supplementary data for immovable property.

In the case of the acting president of the Basic Court of Kotor Momirka Tešić, the Agency found that she did not report the correct income, as well as the shares owned by her and her husband Nenad Tešić. She said that at the time of filling out the card, she did not remember that in July 2020, she was paid some outstanding amount from the previous year in the name of salary, and that she gave her consent to access the bank account because she has nothing to hide. She added that shares were duly registered for her husband, but that a different name was written by permutation.

Member of the Board of Directors of the Coal Mine Vlade Milinković, according to the Agency's decision, violated the provisions of the Law because he did not declare all his and his daughter's income in the amount of around 1.800 euros, but also the vehicle in his wife's name. Milinković confirmed the results of the Agency's examination procedure. He said that it was not his intention to hide any property, but he also pointed out that the daughters of the elder are not members of the joint household.

In the case of the director of the Herceg Novi City Port Management Agency God of Ukropina, the Agency found that he did not report 1.000 euros from the lot, part of the land, and for his wife he reported a lower income of 721 euros.

Ukropina said that due to weather problems during the period of filling out the card, when he had an accident on the vessel, he omitted to declare his income from the party, and that his wife's declarations of income were not taken into account before union membership fees and various other benefits that she received were deducted. took over as an employee at the "Dašo Pavičić" Elementary School. Regarding real estate, he stated that proceedings are being conducted before the court because he is not the actual owner, "but that he is not aware why the actual owners did not register the property in their name." In the end, he pointed out that he had not been punished on any basis so far, and that the mistake did not arise from the need to conceal the real situation, but that it was a technical error.

Public officials are obliged to submit regular annual reports on income and assets by the end of the month. For those who do not do this, a fine of 500 to 2.000 euros is also prescribed.
