Next week, the government will consider the analysis of the implementation of the vetting process, it was unofficially confirmed to Vijesti.

Izvor Vijesti claims that this is a prelude to the application of that decision, that is, checking the assets of judges and prosecutors and their professional qualifications.

At the end of 2022, the Minister of Justice, Marko Kovač, announced that the department he manages will consider the possibility of introducing vetting - the process of determining the ability of judges and prosecutors to continue performing their duties, through "combing" their property and that of their family members, examining potential links to crime and assessment of professional competences.

This followed practically after the arrest of the special prosecutor for organized crime Saša Čađenović, who was accused by his colleagues yesterday of being part of the Kavačac criminal clan.

The news was previously told that in this way it would be possible to help Montenegro establish a responsible judiciary, but it was also warned that there could be abuses, i.e. endangering the independence of the holders of judicial functions.
