Deputy Prime Minister for Security, Defense, Fight against Crime and Internal Policy Aleksa Bečić said that he had no contact with the operational actions of the police.
"I understand the political attempts to target my little one. It's not the first time and the motives are clear to me. Aleksa Bečić absolutely, in accordance with the Law, has no contact whatsoever with the operational actions of the Police and anything to the contrary is strictly prohibited. The Police is, in accordance with the Law, operationally independent in its work and actions and makes operational decisions absolutely independently, assessing the fulfillment of legal requirements," he said.
The residents of Botuni, who oppose the construction of a wastewater treatment plant in Bečići, chanted: "Bečići, traitor" due to this morning's police intervention.
"In this specific case, as we can see, the request for assistance came from members of the Municipal Police in the Capital City, led by respected colleagues who were on the electoral list of the coalition whose constituents are opponents of the construction of the project in Botun. And when in January they chanted some other 'murderer' at the protests led by Aco Mijajlović, now, and always, what I insist on is to show maximum tolerance towards citizens, so that challenging situations can be resolved with maximum tolerance. That is why it is good that members of the Internal Control are also present on site in order to adequately assess the legality of the actions of each police officer," Bečić announced.
