After the 2020 election, a policeman Petar Lazovic he organized for Pljevlja to be painted with Serbian symbols, in order, it follows from the communication, to cause inter-ethnic intolerance in that town in the north of the country.
After the "drawers" of the graffiti were arrested, he asked the head of the Special Police Department at the time Dragan Radonjić that he treats them gently, which the latter agreed to, emerges from the transcripts of their communication...
Now arrested undercover agent of Darko Sarić asked that his team draw Pljevlja with a cross with four glasses.
He demanded this after the votes were counted in the elections on August 30, 2020, in which the Democratic Party of Socialists lost power after three decades.
"Tell Pljevlja to draw four aces," Lazović wrote to Šarić on September 1 of that year.
In the communication that "Vijesti" has, there is no evidence that Šarić answered him.
However, the next morning, the premises of the Islamic Community in Pljevlje woke up with broken windows on the front door.
A day later, several buildings owned by Bosniaks were painted with threatening messages - "Move, Turks", but also with a cross drawn with four eyes...
Graffiti with threatening messages to the Muslim and Bosniak population were written in the town under Ljubišnja in the following days as well - at the entrance to the town, the sign "Welcome to the city of Pljevlja" was painted with green spray, a cross with four S and the number 92 with three dots. In the village of Odžak, in the middle of the main road, there was written "Srebrenica 92 the Turks are moving" and a cross with four eyes was drawn.
On September 2, 2020, the premises of the Islamic Community in Pljevlja woke up with broken windows, and inside they were greeted by a message that read: "The black bird of Pljevlja has flown, it will be Srebrenica", said then the chief imam of Pljevlja, Samir Kadribašić
Serbs from Pljeval crossed over the graffiti, and the youth of the coalition For the Future of Montenegro protested in front of the Security Center there, saying that they will organize themselves to defend Islamic holy sites, if the Ministry of Internal Affairs is unable to protect all its citizens.
"Don't Squeeze"
From the communication delivered to the Montenegrin investigators by the European Union Law Enforcement Agency, it follows that Lazović was concerned that his colleagues did not put too much pressure on those arrested for writing graffiti in Pljevlja.
"Don't squeeze these for sprays and graffiti in PV. Ignore it if you can. From PV that they were brought, a couple of them are for graffiti etc... if you can help", writes Lazović.
Radonjić answers him - "OK"...
Correspondence with Radonjić is immediately sent to the head of the organized crime group, the Kavački clan Happy Switzerland, whose soldier Igor Terzic is also suspected of causing trouble in Pljevlja.
In addition to Pljevljak Terzić, the Special State Prosecutor's Office then filed criminal charges against two more of his fellow citizens - Nemanja Novaković (33) and Danet Vraneš (26)
They were accused of writing graffiti with threatening messages to the Muslim and Bosniak population in Pljevlja after the elections on August 30.
The following year, Vraneš and Novaković were acquitted of charges of inciting national, racial and religious hatred in the High Court of Bijelo Polje.
Such a verdict was passed due to a lack of evidence, the judge explained after the verdict Dragan Mrdak.
The indictment charged them with buying sprays and writing offensive graffiti in Pljevlja on October 3, mostly those with threatening messages.
Terzić, however, is responsible for a much more serious crime - according to the Special State Prosecutor's Office, he is part of a mafia organization Radoja Zvicer, which planned the liquidation of two members of the organized criminal group Škaljarski clan Jovan Vukotić i Jovan Jovanovic.
In addition to Zvicer and Terzić, SDT refers to the members of that criminal organization Milan Vujotić, Slobodan Kašćelan, Dragan Knežević, Goran Vukčević, Danil Bakić, Stevan Kraljević, Radovan Mujović, prison officer Vladan Lučić, Filip Knežević, Ratko Živković, Milutin Knežević, Miloš Jovanović, Milutin Čotar, Vladimir Vučković, Dejan Rutović i Srdjan Jurišević.
Lazović was arrested on July 18, 2022, on the charge that, as an employee of the Police Directorate, he worked for a mafia organization managed by Zvicer.
The Special State Prosecutor's Office charges him in several cases, and he denied guilt at the hearing.
Pljevlja after the election
During the celebration of the election victory, the police recorded attacks on their colleagues, insults on a national basis, physical attacks, raids on catering establishments, mass fights, but also that one person of Bosniak nationality was attacked in Pljevlja.
Already on September 1, the ambassador of the United States of America (USA) in Montenegro reacted Judy Rising Reinke, who called for the calm of the election day to be preserved, and for all parties to engage calmly and avoid violence.
"Dialogue and protection of minorities are crucial for democracy," Ambassador Rajnka wrote on Twitter (now X).
In the first post-election days, some of the public tried to present Pljevlja as a powder keg, and numerous political parties, delegations of the then executive power and journalistic teams flocked to that city in the north of Montenegro.
The citizens of Pljevlja with whom "Vijesti" spoke at the time demanded that the police punish those who, on the night between September 1 and 2 of that year, broke the glass at the entrance to the premises of the Islamic Community Board in Pljevlje, and then inserted a message inside that read : "The black bird has flown, Pljevlja will be Srebrenica".
Representatives of the parties that won the majority in the elections claimed that the DPS was doing everything to stay in power, and that political group replied that it was a shame to accuse them of breaking the glass at the doors of the Islamic Community.
The previous opposition pointed the finger at the secret police and the "departing regime" for trying to provoke religious and national intolerance in Pljevlja and, like many years before, to create discord among neighbors and friends.
The culprits were found, but due to the lack of evidence, no one was held accountable for the post-election riots in the town under Ljubišnja.
Gathered the "army" for protests
On the same day that Lazović asks for graffiti to be written in Pljevlje, the fugitive policeman Ljubo Milović, who is talking to a member of the Kavačka clan, is dealing with the election results through a protected application.
“What's going on down there? That this Abazović will not form a coalition with the DPS? Counter-protests should be launched immediately. Gatherings should be held every day," writes the man from Kavč to Milović.
Then he asks if he should send the boys.
"I have a couple downstairs, and there are a couple of guys from the prison, who were also in prison and then came out, very capable. I sent them to Pljevlja to beat some who went to the litia. All are for CG who are with me, I can't choose, you know which side we're on. If they haven't, let them go with Kan to celebrate the victory in Budva," says the man from Kavka, adding that Milović should tell him where the boys should come to the protest:
"There will be maybe 50 guys. Some from Bar, some from NK, PG"...
