The list of those who escape from prison, with dubious medical diagnoses, find refuge in neighboring Serbia is getting longer and longer.
Miloš Medenica, the son of the former President of the Supreme Court, Vesna Medenica, was also there.
Montenegro has not yet taken steps to extradite him because the Special Prosecutor's Office and the police are on the move, on which the issuing of a warrant for Medenica depends.
"This case has not yet come to us at the Ministry of Justice. For now, we only have unofficial information that it is in Belgrade," State Secretary at the Ministry of Justice Andrej Milović told Television News.
When the case reaches them, the question is whether it will also reach Serbia, which for years has refused to extradite another fugitive who is allegedly being treated in Belgrade.
Thus, without fear of being extradited to Montenegro - Svetozar Marović, who escaped long ago, from Belgrade, not so far away, has been sending letters to journalists in recent days, presenting a series of accusations against his former personal and party friend - the President of Montenegro, Milo Đukanović, but also at the expense of his family members. .
"So far, we have sent two requests and two urgent requests for both requests, but we have not received a single response from Serbia, so in the matter of Svetozar Marović, we as the Ministry of Justice have done everything we can and now it is Serbia's turn and we expect her to act on our requests, i.e. emergencies," Milović said.
He guesses that the extradition of Marović, who has been sanctioned by the Americans in the meantime, is not a legal but a political issue. He believes that he knows how Montenegro can solve it.
"To increase diplomatic activity and to exert pressure on Serbia in some way and for the international community and the EU, since Serbia is on the way to the EU, to take certain steps so that Serbia extradites the mentioned persons to Montenegro".
Among those people is Dejan Lakić, who has been on the run for years. The warrant for him was issued in August 2019 due to the suspicion that he is a member of a criminal group, which in the "Klap" affair, damaged the state budget by several million euros by evading taxes and contributions. He was in Serbian extradition custody but was released.
"We also sent a request in that case, we also sent three urgent requests, but the state of Serbia did not respond to any of them. The question of his non-extradition is also a question for Serbia, but it is evident that in this case there is something more than rights, and we can't know if it's politics," Milović said.
What is known is that Serbia allowed Marović's son Miloš's sentence to expire in Montenegro because it did not extradite him. The former director of the Real Estate Administration, Dragan Kovačević, also found salvation with them, unofficially. Montenegro has been looking for him since April last year due to accusations that he appropriated valuable plots of land on the sea foam by putting pressure on subordinate cadastre officials.
Vesna Mdenica was also preparing for Belgrade on Sunday evening, but she was arrested by the police at the Podgorica airport.
