The President of the Council of the Cyber ​​Security Agency and Acting Director General of the Directorate for Infrastructure, Information Security, Digitalization and E-Services, Jovan Kljajić, announced that he is expecting a response from the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (ASK) on the possible incompatibility of functions and the existence of a conflict of interest.

Kljajić told "Vijesti" that he sent the request for an opinion to ASK within the legally prescribed 30 days from the date of his appointment.

Kljajić: We must not allow the Cyber ​​Security Agency to collapse from within, we are scheduling a session tomorrow as well

"As I said to other media outlets today, if the ASK's response is negative, I will act in accordance with the law and resign from one of my positions. However, I am confident that this will not happen, because the interpretations of the legal provisions that I received even before being appointed acting president unequivocally indicate that these two positions are not in conflict or represent a conflict of interest," Kljajić said.

He said it was an "attempt to change the thesis."

He adds that a violation of the Law on the Prevention of Corruption was officially established in the case of one of the candidates, and, as he claims, it was this circumstance that led to an attempt to divert attention from that case to his personality.

"That is precisely why I eagerly await the official and written position of the ASK in order to remove all doubts. I also want to emphasize that at no time during the session of the Council of the Cyber ​​Security Agency, during which interviews with candidates were conducted, these circumstances were not pointed out to me, nor was it the reason for the adjournment of the session. The session was adjourned for completely different reasons, immediately before the vote on the candidates," Kljajić pointed out.

He also said that until he receives an official response from ASK, he will not make any further public statements on this topic.

"As before, I will act exclusively in accordance with the law, decisions of competent institutions and the principles of professional work," he concluded.
