Years of fruitless correspondence between Montenegrin and Serbian competent authorities and governments regarding the extradition of Svetozar Marović recently brought the first concrete result - the statute of limitations for the first of the sentences imposed on him.
It is a one-year prison sentence that was awarded to him as a substitute for a fine, which he was supposed to pay, but he didn't.
It was confirmed to TV Vijesti from the Kotor Basic Court that Marović no longer needs to worry about paying or being imprisoned for an unpaid fine.
"According to the decision of the Higher Court in Podgorica, his single fine in the amount of 1,1 million euros was replaced by a prison sentence of one year and the absolute statute of limitations began on June 28.6.2021, XNUMX," the court said.
The main sentence to which Marović was sentenced is still active.
"By which he was sentenced to a single prison sentence of three years and nine months, in which case the absolute statute of limitations begins on October 10.10.2026, XNUMX," the court added.
The public already has an inkling that Marović will "serve out" the multi-year sentence just like this one, or else the twelve-month sentence imposed on his son Miloš, which expired in September of last year, and thus, as far as Montenegro is concerned, instead of a prisoner, he became free citizen.
