The former head of the criminal police, Enis Baković, gave a verbal order to his officers to remove the notorious Belgraders Veljko Belivuk and Marko Miljković from the ban on entry into Montenegro.
This, as unofficially learned by Vijesti Television, stems from the statements made immediately after the arrest by the head of the Sector for Suppression of General Crime, Aleksandar Bošković, and his colleague Saša Đurović.
This is why Baković also gave his testimony today, which was also confirmed by the Special Prosecutor's Office, which released Bošković and Đurović from custody.
"Analyzing all the collected evidence, it was assessed that there is no reasonable doubt that AB and S.Đ., who were previously deprived of their liberty by order of the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica, committed the criminal offense of abuse of official position, so an order was given to the Special Police Department to released," the Special Prosecutor's Office said in a statement.
Immediately before that, in an interview with Vijesti Television, Baković said that the arrested police officers were innocent and that, just like him, when he was the head of the criminal police, they did everything according to the law and in accordance with the regulations.
"I will explain everything in detail before the competent authorities if I receive an invitation. I am at their disposal, and it is up to them to investigate and establish all the facts, including how and by whose order the entry ban measures that were adopted for Belivuk and Miljković," Baković said.
He did not want to comment on whether he also received an order to lift the entry bans on notorious criminals close to the Kavaka clan.
In connection with this case, a statement was also made by a SI police officer against whom State Secretary of the MUP Rade Milošević filed a report. As she was on sick leave at the time the ban was lifted, she was released to defend herself after giving her statement.
The Special Prosecutor's Office explains that the criminal complaint filed by Milošević was combined with the case that was formed on the basis of the one filed against the former assistant director of the police, Zoran Lazović, by the leader of the Right of Montenegro, Marko Milačić.
"The Special State Prosecutor's Office in the aforementioned case, which has been consolidated, will continue the investigation procedure and collect the necessary data and evidence," SDT announced.
While the competent authorities are investigating the submitted reports, some politicians are already alluding to the culprit.
"It was no coincidence that Zoran Lazović convinced us that Belivuk and Miljković are not any danger to Montenegro and its citizens," wrote on Twitter the deputy of Democratic Montenegro Danilo Saranović.
One of the leaders of the DF, Milan Knežević, has a solution for this case as well.
"We don't need Poirot. The arrested inspectors should say that they received an order from Enes Baković, then when Enes is arrested, he should say that Zoran Lazović ordered him to do it. And then Zoki, who they must not arrest, should say who did it called from Serbia to lift the ban on Belivuk. The end," Knežević wrote on Twitter.
Regarding this case, Television Vijesti also contacted Lazović, who said in a short telephone conversation that he never did, so he will not comment on politicians' statements or media allegations. He added that if he receives it, he will respond to the invitation of the competent authorities and make a statement.
In the criminal report of Milošević, it is stated that on December 28 last year, in the morning hours, the ban on entering Montenegro for Belivuk and Miljković was deactivated from the official computer of SI without legal grounds.
The special prosecutor's office suspects Belivuk and Miljković, as well as Nebojša Janković, Ratko Živković and several other unidentified members of the Kavačka clan, for the murder of a member of the Skaljar clan Damir Hodžić and his son-in-law Adis Spahić in October last year.
