The Zeta branch of the Democratic People's Party (DNP) said that the executive director of Podgorica's Water and Sewerage Company, Aleksandar Nišavić, is now playing the victim, instead of being detained because he went beyond his authority to command the Municipal Police and attack the residents of Botuni who were protesting against the construction of a wastewater treatment plant.
The party said that Nišavić and Podgorica Mayor Saša Mujović could always come to Zeta, but with a police cordon, and assessed that Mujović's chief of staff, Vesna Brajović, is essentially the mayor of Podgorica.
They were reacting to Nišavić's statement earlier today in which he said that the false accusations made by the leaders of the DNP and the Zeta Municipality had escalated into open threats, which is why he announced that he would "initiate legal action."

"The worst director in the history of the Podgorica Waterworks, Aleksandar Nišavić, should be arrested and prosecuted because on December 30, he commanded the municipal police and attacked peaceful residents of Botun, beyond his jurisdiction. His attempt to break through the fence and pepper spray one of the citizens present also marked a shameful police action. There are videos and eyewitness statements about all of this. And now, according to the good old democratic custom, Nišavić is playing the victim and great martyr, instead of being in custody. The people are already used to the melodramatic and pathetic nature of 'endangered' corrupt officials who will eventually be held criminally accountable," the DNP stated.
On December 30, the President of the Municipality of Zeta, Mihailo Asanović, accused Nišavić of trying to provoke an incident in Botun, claiming that it was recorded on video, but the local government has not since provided the alleged footage to any media outlet.
"Nišavić and Mujović can always come to Zeta with a police cordon, just as they came at 4 am with six hundred heavily armed police officers who arrested an entire village. The same can happen to the mayor, Vesna Brajović, who should have been in prison a long time ago due to her misdeeds in the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a DPS official. Only thanks to the fact that she is the best friend of Saša Mujović's wife, this individual has formally become the head of the cabinet, and essentially the mayor of Podgorica. We will inform the public about her abuses from the time of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the sequels," the Zeta DNP statement added.
They stated that if Nišavić thought he would scare people by threatening Šaranović and Šćepanović, they could conclude that he drank unsafe water from Mareza, which is still unsafe to drink today.
"And we repeat to him once again, Mujović, Šćepanović, Šaranović, and he are not welcome in Zeta, because with their shameful actions against the peaceful citizens of Botun, they have written themselves out of Zeta's hospitality for life. The elections will be held very soon, some will not pass the census, some will no longer hold the positions they currently hold, and some will end up in prison. Nišavić is certainly among the third," the statement concludes.
