Former Montenegrin President Milo Ðukanović will be heard in September as a litigant in a case against the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (ASK) for violation of personal rights.

His lawyer and sister, Ana Ðukanović, said today at a hearing in the Podgorica Basic Court that she opposes his questioning.

"The intensity and strength of the mental pain cannot be measured by hearing him," said Ðukanović.

She pointed out that everything was stated in the lawsuit.

Đukanović sued ASK over its decision that it violated the law regarding the Atlas Bank revolving card.

The lawsuit states that Đukanović, for two and a half decades, performed his duties honorably, conscientiously and with the highest degree of responsibility towards his obligations, and that the ASK decision, which determined that he violated the Law on the Prevention of Corruption by failing to report an increase in assets in the amount of 16.741 euros, was made with the unequivocal intention of portraying his personality as criminal, arrogant and unworthy of the function and reputation he enjoys in the society and state of Montenegro.

He sought damages for violation of his personal rights in the amount of 5.000 euros due to the decision by which that institution found that he had violated the law regarding the Atlas Bank revolving card.

The Agency's legal representative, Ana Bogdanović, said that she expects Milo Ðukanović to appear at the next hearing.

His lawyer submitted copies of the evidence to the court, and the court ordered that the originals be submitted within eight days, to which Ðukanović said that this was not possible because the files contained the subject matter of other disputes.
