Aleksandra Radović recommends six years of experience in Europol as the acting (acting) director of the Police Administration (UP) based on the information from the Sky correspondence in which numerous cases against organized crime and corruption are being processed.
As announced by the Government of Montenegro, this is stated in the explanation of Prime Minister Milojko Spajić, who proposed Radović as acting director of UP.
"Radović was recommended by his rich work biography, as well as the fact that at the end of last year he made a key contribution to ensure that Montenegro avoids the gray list of Manival. In addition to the above, Aleksandra Radović is also recommended by his six-year experience in EUROPOL, based on information from the SKY correspondence numerous cases against organized crime and corruption are being processed. Also, Radović is the only one with a full mandate as assistant director of the Police Administration," Spajić's explanation is stated in the Government's press release.
Last night, the government elected Radović as acting director of UP, and Spajić proposed him, even though it was not an item on the agenda.

Today's announcement by the Government states that at the 20th session chaired by Spajić, due to the need to preserve national security and the continuation of the relentless fight against crime and corruption, and with the aim of speeding up Montenegro's path towards the European Union (EU), the Government discussed the candidates registered for public invitation for acting director of the Police Administration.
"The Government has familiarized itself with the list, biographies and the procedure for interviewing the candidates registered for the public call for the election of the Acting Director of the Police Directorate. In accordance with the Government's conclusion number: 08-011/24-1185/2 of March 3, 2024, the Minister of Internal Affairs submitted a proposal for the appointment of Lazar Šćepanović as Acting Director of the Police Directorate. The aforementioned proposal did not receive the required majority of the votes of the members of the Government. As the Minister of Internal Affairs refused to propose another candidate from the list of notified persons in accordance with the law, the Government, in order to preserve national security, as well as the indisputable needs that the Police Directorate has a director, i.e. an acting director, authorized Prime Minister Milojko Spajić to propose one of the candidates from the established list. Accordingly, the Prime Minister proposed the candidate Aleksandar Radović for acting director of the Police Directorate," said the Government.
Before the election of Radović, the government adopted by a majority of votes a conclusion authorizing Spajić to propose the acting director of the police, although this has no basis in the Law on Internal Affairs.
The law stipulates that the acting police director is proposed by the Minister of Internal Affairs.
Previously, during the marathon session of the Government, which was interrupted several times, the Prime Minister proposed that Radović be the "coordinator" of the Police Directorate, even though this is not foreseen by the Law on Internal Affairs.
That proposal was not voted on at the Government session.
During the discussion on Spajić's proposal that Radović coordinate with the police, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Danilo Šaranović, read to the members of the Government Article 416 of the Criminal Code, which describes the criminal offense of abuse of official position, for which a prison sentence of six months to five years is prescribed, they announced last night " News".
Then Šaranović, whose proposal to have Lazar Šćepanović as the acting director of the Police Administration was rejected, was criticized for not providing "passability in the Government for such a proposal".

After the election of Radović, Šaranović told "Vijesta" that he would inform the competent state authorities about the suspicion that criminal acts were committed at the Government session, because it "exceeded the limits of its authority" and elected Radović.
