Laković said that whoever wrote the "blue notebook" was engaged in subterfuge.

He pointed out that he had no private communication with Veselin Veljović, nor did he exchange any messages or calls with him.

"He didn't give me a single euro, let alone a loan. I solved my housing issue in 2006," Laković said.

He asked Šuković about personnel appointments in the police that he discussed with Abazović when he was prime minister, stating that he had nothing to discuss with the prime minister.

Šuković said that they have a huge staffing problem in the Police Directorate and that sometimes it is necessary to act quickly.

"Those problems erupted with the appearance of the Sky application," he said.

Vladislav Bojović (DNP) said that if Šuković did what Milović says, he should be held criminally accountable, and if he was unfairly attacked, Milović should bear the consequences.

Novović said that everything he mentioned is already being investigated, but that he could not say anything about it either in open or closed session.

17: 47h

Novović said that Šuković has his complete trust.

"The one in Washington is not only my reward, but also his reward," Novović said.

He said that if it is established that Šuković acted illegally in something, he will lose that trust.

Pižurica asked Šuković if he had made an official note regarding the attack on the director of Vijesti Željko Ivanović and that he stated in it that he was attacked by a person from Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and that he forwarded that official note to his superiors.

Sukovic said that is correct.

"The department for organized crime in which I was the chief had certain operational data with a high degree of accuracy in relation to the attack on Željko Ivanović, the owner of Vijesta, and it was forwarded to the then assistant director for the crime police sector, the director and everyone who needs it. That is correct. There is and the way we got to that information, which is quite reliable. I think that note was later requested or appeared at the commission for attacks on journalists. I think that note ended up at the commission for journalists," Šuković said.

When Pižurica asked if it was true that the official note was not acted upon, Šuković answered in the affirmative.

"That's right, because people have already been legally convicted for that attack. You know who it is, which further encouraged us to write this matter because we had an excellent source of that information," said Šuković.

When asked by Pižurica why he did not inform the competent prosecutor or anyone in the justice system about the official note so that it could be acted upon and the real culprit punished, Šuković said that it was not his responsibility.

"My authority as chief then was the Special Prosecutor's Office, the same as today. I forwarded the record to the then assistant for the crime police sector to forward it to the prosecutor. There is also this illogicality of Andrej Milović that I asked the basic prosecutor to arrest Spajić. I did not enter the Basic Prosecutor's Office for ten years "I don't know those people. The note was forwarded to a higher instance so that the prosecution could be informed. I don't know what happened to that note," Šuković said.

MP of the Europe Now Movement (PES) Miloš Pižurica asked Šuković if it was true that a certain amount of drugs was found in his safe, as reported by a portal yesterday.

Šuković said that this information was spread maliciously and that Milović called people to spread the story further in the media.

"He made a mistake, because there were not 450 grams of heroin in the cash register, but 121. Now Milović and the people who drink coffee with him do not know what it is about. It is about the controlled delivery of drugs. A sample of heroin was left in the cash register of the Criminal Police Department , weighing 121 grams, with information and expertise from the Forensic Center from Danilovgrad, by order of the head of the UKP," Šuković said.

He said that a specimen of the same weight, made of plaster of corn flour, was released into the channel.

Laković commented that controlled delivery was specified by law in 2005, and that incident, according to reports, happened in 2001.

Milović said that heroin was found in Šuković's police safe, but he did not answer at the time because it was covered up.

"Then you were removed from the police, when Andrija Jovićević was the minister. It was covered up so that there would not be a rift in the police," Milović said.

Šuković explained that everything can be easily checked, and that Slaviša Šćekić ordered the action.

"The sample of the fake drug went into the canal, the real one remained in the safe of the Criminal Police Directorate," Šuković said.

Šuković said that everything was done according to procedures and that he remains available to check everything.

Miloš Pižurica (PES) said that he was disappointed by the situation in the security sector.

"We heard various connections, accusations," he said.

Šuković said that he was not dismissed earlier because of a lack of results, but because of the Mojkovac factory

Pižurica asked Šuković if he knew Saša Jokić and if he was officially godfather with him, and he replied that he knew him, that he was not godfather with him and that he had not seen him for three years.

Speaking about who received asylum and citizenship, Milović said that a certain Ramaj, who is connected to the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), and who invests in Budva, received Montenegrin citizenship, as did Naser Keljmendi's brother.

Adžić said that when talking about getting asylum, the asylum that Milović is talking about was signed by a man from his party.

"The point is whether someone took money for it," Milović said.

16: 49h

Answering the questions of Nikola Zirojević (SD), Novović said that his brother knew Šuković from his younger days, and that he only knew him by sight before his appointment.

As he said, he has professional communication with the director of the Police Administration (UP), Zoran Brđanin.

Because of the Sky application, he said, Brđanin was questioned as a witness.

He pointed out that the material from Sky apps arrives daily.

Šuković said that he has daily and multiple contacts with Western services.

16: 28h

Novović said that it is not true that he works for the interests of any other country.

Vučurović said he was expressing his doubts.

"It's your right to doubt, and I'm telling you the way it is," said Novović.

16: 14h

Jovan Vučurović (NSD) said that Novović could have done more.

He pointed out that the arrest of the President of the Municipality of Budva, Milo Božović, was politically motivated and that foreign influence was behind it.

"My message is to stop the persecution against him and his family. I believe that this is an innocent man," said Vučurović.

He asked whether a case had been formed based on the Sky correspondence to give money to Milo Đukanović.

Novović said that one paragraph in the indictment against Veselin Veljović was dedicated to that part and that the answer to that question was given.

Vučurović also asked whether a case had been opened regarding the allegations from the Sky correspondence that after August 30 one of the MPs was bought, Novović said that all the data had been analyzed or should be analyzed by the special prosecutors and the SPO.

He pointed out that they have tens of millions of messages in their possession, but that they do not have the ability to analyze it in a short period of time.

Boris Bogdanović (Democrats) said that the "Do Kwon" affair consists of "well-packaged nothing" when it comes to the involvement of the prime minister in dubious actions, as far as is known so far.

He said that Novović and Šuković put handcuffs on the hands of people that others were not even allowed to look at.

"Everybody didn't have to, and even worse, everybody didn't want to," said Bogdanović.

He said that he was in favor of the committee dealing with verified information, not insinuations.

"We have not come to the truth today. We are discussing the "blue notebook" whose authenticity has not been proven", said Bogdanović.

15: 50h

Milović said that he can also take a polygraph if needed, and that he was probably in direct contact with people from the criminal milieu.

Knežević said that the accusations that Šukovic was talking in a bar that he was going to arrest Spajić are serious.

He asked who took the money for Ismailov, Tsujan and Dmitry Sennin.

Milović said that it is being investigated for Abazović and URU that they received from five to seven million for Ismailov.

15: 49h

Milović said that Šuković bragged about how he was going to arrest Milojko Spajić.

Šuković said that Milović is hanging out with the dregs of the security services that have been marginalized due to ties to organized criminal groups (OKG).

"You seem naive. Everything you tell here, you have to prove. You have to choose your company. You can be with me, but I would never be with you," said Šuković.

15: 27h

Danijel Živković (DPS) said that if Šuković wrote in the "blue notebook" and if it was his handwriting, he broke the law.

Milović said that the court and the prosecution will determine whether he is a mafia joker.

He said that they were creating an affair for him and that Šuković practically accused him of being a smuggler.

He pointed out that the Sky correspondences are evidence for him as a lawyer.

He said that he hopes that the National Security Agency (ANB) will soon get new leaders.

He pointed out that it has nothing to do with the "blue notebook" and that the court will decide on it.

He said that during the closed part of the session, he can show photos of Filip Adžić, a member of the Citizens' Movement URA, with security-interesting faces when he lived in Kotor.

At the insistence of Adžić and the president and deputy of the Civic Movement URA Dritan Abazović to announce it immediately, Milović pointed out that these are very dangerous persons, whose names he does not want to announce in the open part of the session.

Adžić said that Milović did not answer for the attempt to influence the ban on a security-interested person to be lifted.

He pointed out that Milović, apart from empty stories, has no proof.

Adžić said that Milović and another minister were "reprimanded" by Spajić.

Filip Adžić (URA) said that "it is clear that the mafia" managed to shift the focus to some people who held positions in public life for several months.

"You managed to create confusion, humiliate the MUP, but also the prime minister, who had to distance himself from your actions," said Adžić, addressing Milović.

14: 38h

DNP MP Milan Knežević said that a narrative was created that Novović and Šuković started dealing with crime, and that "Falcone and Borselino" suddenly fell into the "blue book".

As he said, he does not see anything strange in that notebook that was found in Milo Božović's house, because the Security and Defense Committee often consulted with people from the security sector. He said that the part of the indictment in which Božović is part of the Kavaka criminal group is untenable.

He pointed out that Božović has been in prison for nine months.

He said that in the case of Do Kwon, it should have turned out that the "For the Future of Montenegro" coalition created a Do Kwon affair, and that the URA profited from it.

Knežević said that he must know who Dr. Abdul is and what his role is. He asked for the name and surname of the person who transferred Do Kwon across the border to Montenegro.

He pointed out that the new detail is that Do Kwon claims that someone else wrote him the letter.

"If what you said about Šuković and Abazović is not true, you should resign or be prosecuted," said Knežević, addressing Milović.

He pointed out that Do Kwon should not be extradited until the case is resolved.

"From May to February, did you listen to Šuković and Abazović on Milović's allegations," Knežević asked.

He asked Novović if he had confidence in Šuković.

14: 18h

Abazović said that he was glad that Milović met there (in Budapest) with a person whose initials are MS, and that is not Milojko Spajić.

He pointed out that before Rad Milošević, there was no director of the Customs Administration who signed off on the cigarette smuggling scheme.

"I am waiting very calmly for the final outcome".

He pointed out that he doubts that Milović is a "pawn of the mafia" who needs to do part of the "dirty work", and that they will continue.

He was warned by the chairman of the board not to use inappropriate vocabulary.

Abazović said that it is only logical that Do Kwon came to see people who are close to the crypto community. He pointed out that Do Kwon had no cooperation with him.

He asked if Spajić's uncle Kankaraš was with him in Budapest.

Milović replied that he had not and that he had never crossed the border with him.
