The trial of former Director of the Police Directorate Veselin Veljović, who is charged with allegedly being a member of a group that according to the position of the Special State Prosecutor’s Office (SDT) was formed by Aleksandar Mrkić, has been postponed until March 16.

The reason for the postponement was a request by attorneys from Belgrade representing Aleksandar Mrkić. They explained that they were unable to attend due to official obligations.

The proceedings are being conducted by Judge Vesna Kovačević. In addition to scheduling the hearing for March 16, she also set four additional dates.

Veljović is accused of abuse of office and of being a member of the alleged criminal organization of Aleksandar Mrkić, which, according to the Special State Prosecutor’s Office, was involved in cigarette smuggling. Aleksandar Mrkić is unavailable to Montenegrin authorities, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

In addition to Veljović, the defendants include Mrkić’s brother Nikola Mrkić, Arsenije Kalezić, Mujo Nikočević, Stefan Bubanja, Nikola Bubanja, Predrag Veljić, Borislav Lečić, Nemanja Anđelković, Goran Gluščević, Nikola Bačilović, Sadig Elnagar, as well as the former head of the criminal police in Bar Ilija Vasović.

All of the defendants denied the allegations in the indictment.

In his defense, Veljović stated that the proceedings against him represent a police-political persecution.
