Current Acting Director Dušan Drakić, former Acting Secretary of the Prosecutorial Council Mithad Kuch and President of the Montenegrin-Slovak Friendship Association Michal Spevak are candidates for the head of the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption.
The competition ended yesterday, and "Vijesti" was unofficially told that a deadline of several days has been left for possible candidacies that could arrive by mail.
"The Agency Council could interview candidates as early as the beginning of next week, as well as vote," claim sources from "Vijesti".
The Agency for the Prevention of Corruption has been without a full-time director since August 2024. Drakić has been acting since then. Previous competitions were unsuccessful because, according to the Law on the Prevention of Corruption, four out of five votes of the Council members are required to elect a director.
No candidate in the competition for the position of director of ASK has managed to receive this support so far.
The agency has been without a full-time director since the summer of 2024, when the Council dismissed the previous head. Jelena Perović.
She was arrested in April 2024, and the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) filed charges against her and her assistant. Nina Paović is currently being prosecuted before the Higher Court in Podgorica for alleged abuse of official position and forgery of an official document.
The first vacancy for the director of ASK was announced in April 2025, but a month later no one had been selected for the position.
A second vacancy announcement followed in December 2025, to which only Drakić applied. That announcement was canceled because it was not published on the Employment Agency's website, after which a new one was announced.
Candidates, in addition to the general requirements for work in state bodies, should have 10 years of work experience, of which at least five years in the field of combating corruption or protecting human rights, as well as submit at least three opinions on professional and work qualities.
