The Bjelo Polje Higher Prosecutor's Office will ask other state authorities for information on the incitement of religious and national hatred in the north of Montenegro after August 2020, and in that case the company will also take other necessary actions, the deputy head of VDT Bijelo Polje told "Vijesta" Vladan Đalović.

He said this after "Vijesti" recently announced that he will be a policeman after the 2020 elections Petar Lazovic arranged for Pljevlja to be painted with Serbian symbols, in order, according to the communication, to cause inter-ethnic intolerance in that city, and after the graffiti "drawers" 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...

Đalović replied to "Vijesta" that in that prosecutor's office, on the occasion of writing graffiti in Pljevlja, a case was opened against two people for the criminal offense of inciting national, racial and religious hatred under Art. 370 KZCG.

"And in that procedure, an indictment was filed against two persons, who were legally acquitted by the judgment of the High Court in Bijelo Polje".

"In the coming period, the Higher State Prosecutor's Office in Bijelo Polje will undertake all actions, together with the Police Administration, as competent for the detection of criminal offenses for which prosecution is undertaken ex officio, as well as request data from other institutions and undertake other procedural actions within their competence in order to reveal crimes and perpetrators of crimes for which the Higher State Prosecutor's Office in Bijelo Polje is actually and locally competent to prosecute, and therefore also in relation to the events that represent the subject of your interest", said Đalović.

This is how the prosecutor answered the questions about whether the case is still active, and whether the Special State Prosecutor's Office and the Police Directorate were asked to hand over materials related to the specific event.

Đalović was also asked whether, due to the new knowledge presented in the text, he will question Petar Lazović and Police Administration officer Dragan Radonjić in that case.

"Draw Pljevlja with 4s"

At the end of December, the news announced that the now-arrested secret agent from Darko Sarić requested 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.

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 tensions in Pljevlja.

Lack of evidence

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 Kascelan, Dragan Knežević, Goran Vukčević, Danil Bakić, Stevan Kraljević, Radovan Mujović, a prison officer Vladan Lučić, Filip Knežević, Ratko Živković, Milutin Knežević, Miloš Jovanović, Milutin Cotar, 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.
