Director of the Public Enterprise for National Parks of Montenegro (JPNPCG) Vladimir Martinović claims that Predrag Gluščević was elected as a supervisor in the National Parks of Montenegro in compliance with all legal provisions.

He said this at a press conference regarding the attack on the head of the Skadar Lake National Park Protection Service, Vuk Saičić, and his colleague Marko Gluščević, which happened the night before last.

"On the occasion of the announcement regarding the employment of Predrag Gluščević as a supervisor in the National Parks of Montenegro, the provisions of Article 3 of the Law on Civil Servants and State Employees clearly defined that they do not apply to a public company, which is why there were no restrictions when establishing an employment relationship. What the Law on work defined that a person who applies for a job in a public company must provide a certificate that no criminal proceedings are being conducted against him. This was the only binding condition, and on this occasion it was fulfilled," said Martinović.

Today, referring to the Law on Civil Servants and State Employees, Dan published details regarding Gluščević's employment. According to the law, a person who has been sentenced to a prison sentence of more than six months cannot be employed in a state body, and given that Gluščević was sentenced to five years in 2018 for fraud and one year for tax and contribution evasion, and he was sentenced to a single prison sentence of five and a half years.

The news previously announced that the High Court in Podgorica upheld the verdict by which the owner and director of "Montenegro mega group" Vladan Lakić and Predrag Gluščević were sentenced to a total of 11 and a half years in prison, for embezzlement of more than two million euros, tax evasion and fraud.

Lakić and Gluščević were convicted for evading taxes of 2006 euros from 2009 to 68.000, taking money in advance from buyers of apartments under construction, which they later did not invest in construction, and defrauding 74 citizens through sales contracts by not completing the apartments and not returning their money , as well as because some of those apartments were sold more than once.
