The Agency for the Prevention of Corruption found that the Consul General of Montenegro is in Frankfurt Ivana Đukanović violated the Law on Prevention of Corruption, because she did not declare all income and assets.
The law stipulates that a public official is obliged to declare all income and assets, otherwise he can be fined up to 2.000 euros.
In the case of Đukanović, the Agency found that in the regular annual property record for 2020, she reported less income for less than 8.300 euros, she did not report her son's income of about 170, her husband's debt for about 5.850 euros, but not even a garage space of 12 square meters.
Đukanović told the Agency that she reported the wages that she "actually received, not the amount of calculated wages." As for not declaring the garage, she pointed out that she was not aware that in addition to the apartment she had to declare that property, and as for her son's income, she said that it was interest on the deposit and that she did not know that it should be declared. "She also pointed out that when filling out the report, there was no intention not to provide accurate data on income and assets," the decision states.
The agency also established that the director of the Directorate for Tax and Customs System in the Ministry of Finance and Social Welfare Biljana Peranović violated the law, because she reported minor income, which includes about 60 euros in salary, 1.200 in the name of additional work in that Ministry, but also 500 euros that she received from the Ministry of Science on the basis of a work contract, as well as part of the shares.
"As for the undeclared income from September 2020, she pointed out that it happened because that amount was paid after earnings, and since she was filling out the report based on the payroll, she omitted it, but she also pointed out that the income from additional work and the income from the work contract has been properly reported to the Revenue and Customs Administration and that the tax on said income has been paid," the explanation states. When it comes to actions, she said that she omitted some, and that another broadcaster was mistakenly entered for others.
