&nbsp;The Basic State Prosecutor’s Office is examining allegations from a criminal complaint filed by the Trade Union of the Radio Television of Montenegro against the public broadcaster’s Director General Boris Raonić, the management, and members of the Council, over what they describe as reasonable suspicion of abuse of office due to non-transparent spending of funds allocated for employees’ variable pay.
This was confirmed to Portal ETV by the Basic State Prosecutor’s Office, which stated that a case has been opened and that the prosecutor has ordered officers of the Police Directorate to collect information.
- The case is currently in the preliminary investigation phase. In order to protect the interests of the proceedings, we cannot provide further details at this time - the Prosecutor’s Office said in its response to our portal.
The Trade Union of the Radio Television of Montenegro submitted a criminal complaint to the Special State Prosecutor’s Office against Raonić, the management, and members of the Council. As confirmed to us by the special prosecutor and SSPO spokesperson Vukas Radonjić, the complaint was forwarded to the Basic State Prosecutor’s Office.
- The complaint was forwarded to the Basic State Prosecutor’s Office in Podgorica as the competent authority, because the reported individuals are not high-ranking public officials, and the Special State Prosecutor’s Office is competent only for the criminal prosecution of high-ranking, not all public officials, for the criminal offence of abuse of official position - Radonjić stated.
As a reminder, Snežana Radusinović, a member of the Executive Board of the Employees’ Trade Union of the Radio Television of Montenegro, said two days ago that the subject of the complaint filed in July is the non-transparent spending of funds for employees’ variable pay and for fees paid to external associates.
- As of today, we can confirm the information that 735.000 euros per year in gross amount is spent on variable pay, and more than 400.000 euros on external associates - Radusinović said.
She added that this is an enormous sum of money being spent in a non-transparent manner, which opens up significant room for abuse of budgetary funds.

The police is collecting information, allegations of non-transparent spending at the Radio Television of Montenegro under review

The Police Directorate has issued a warrant for the former Special State Prosecutor Lidija Mitrović, who, according to police officials, failed to report voluntarily to serve her prison sentence.
Mitrović had previously submitted a request to the court to postpone the execution of her prison sentence, which, according to police information, was not approved.
- Officers of the Podgorica Security Department, acting on the order of the Basic Court in Podgorica for the forced bringing in of the convicted Lidija Mitrović, who failed to report voluntarily to serve her prison sentence, visited her registered residence and places of stay on several occasions. She was not found at any of those locations, and members of her family provided conflicting information regarding her whereabouts within the territory of Podgorica or Budva - the police said in a statement.
The Police Directorate claims that officers visited all listed addresses where Mitrović was not located, and that the competent court was informed accordingly.
- Taking into account that Mitrović did not report voluntarily to serve her prison sentence, but instead is avoiding it, as we have stated, officers of the Police Directorate informed the competent court of all established facts, based on which a warrant was issued for this person with the aim of locating her and bringing her in to serve her prison sentence - the police statement reads.
They added that further activities aimed at locating Mitrović are ongoing.
- We will also activate other legally permitted mechanisms in order to ensure that the convicted person is brought in to serve the prison sentence - the Police Directorate said.
Mitrović requested a postponement of serving the seven-month prison sentence to which she was convicted for abuse of office in the „Klap“ case.
The High Court in Podgorica had previously found Mitrović guilty for dismissing criminal complaints for tax evasion against four individuals and one legal entity after the defendants had paid their outstanding tax liabilities.
Although the verdict is final, Mitrović has not yet begun serving her sentence. The Basic Court in Podgorica confirmed that her request for postponement was rejected on October 24, after which she filed an appeal, which was decided by the High court.
The prison sentence was imposed at the end of 2024 in a retrial, after the Court of Appeal overturned the initial decision and returned the case for a new trial. In May 2025, the second-instance court upheld the new verdict.
The law provides for the possibility of postponing a prison sentence in special circumstances, such as serious illness, a death in the family, or completion of education.
During the proceedings, Mitrović claimed that the complaints she dismissed contained no elements of a criminal offense, while the High Court and the Court of Appeal concluded that, as a public official, she unlawfully abused her position and applied the deferral of criminal prosecution even though she knew that this legal mechanism could not be used in cases of tax evasion.

Osnovno državno tužilaštvo provjerava navode iz krivične prijave koju je Sindikat RTCG podnio protiv generalnog direktora te medijske kuće Borisa Raonića, manadžmneta i članova Savjeta zbog, kako su naveli, osnovane sumnje da su zloupotrijebili položaj jer su netransparentno trošili novac za varijabile zaposlenih.
To je Portalu ETV potvrđeno iz Osnovnog državnog tužilaštva ukazujući da je formiran predmet i da je tužilac naložio službenicima Uprave policije da prikupe obavještenja.
-Predmet se nalazi u postupku izviđaja. Radi zaštite interesa postupka, za sada ne možemo saopštiti više detalja – navodi se u odgovorima ODT dostavljenim našem Portalu.
Sindikat RTCG je Specijalnom državnom tužilaštvu podnio krivičnu prijavu protiv Raonića, manadžmenta i članova Savjeta i ta prijava kako nam je saopštio specijalni tužilac i portparol SDT- a Vukas Raodonjić dostavljena je Osnovnom državnom tužilaštvu.
-Prijava je dostavljena Osnovnom državnom tužilaštvu u Podgorici kao nadležnom, jer prijavljena lica nijesu visoki javni funkcioneri a Specijalno državno
tužilaštvo je nadležno samo za krivično gonjenje visokih, a ne svih javnih funkcionera kao učinilaca krivičnog djela zloupotreba službenog položaja – navodi se u odgovorima tužioca Radonjića.
Podsjetimo članica Izvršnog odbora Sindikata zaposlenih RTCG-a Snežana Radusinović je prije dva dana saopštila da je predmet prijave koju su podnijeli u julu netransparentno trošenje novca za varijabile zaposlenih i za honorare spoljnih saradnika.
- Na današnji dan možemo da potvrdimo informaciju da se 735.000 eura godišnje u bruto iznosu troši na varijabile, a više od 400.000 na spoljne saradnike - rekla je Radusinović.
Ona je dodala da je to ogromna suma novca koja se troši na način koji nije transparentan, pa se otvara veliki prostor za zloupotrebu novca iz budžeta.

Osnovno državno tužilaštvo (ODT) u Podgorici saopštilo je Portalu ETV da nije formiran predmet povodom saznanja predsjednika Demokratske narodne partije (DNP) Milana Kneževića da "makar pet ministara treba da drhti" zbog mogućeg pojavljivanja kompromitujućih snimaka.&nbsp;
Knežević je te informacije iznio u subotu, 31. januara, u emisiji "Slobodna zona" na TV Prva, ali nije želio da saopšti više detalja, niti da govori o konkretnim imenima.
Iz ODT-a podsjećaju da državno tužilaštvo prati dešavanja i reaguje u slučajevima kada postoji osnovana sumnja da je učinjeno neko krivično djelo za koje se gonjenje preduzima po službenoj dužnosti.
- Svi koji eventualno imaju saznanja o učinjenom krivičnom djelu, dužni su da o tome obavijeste nadležne državne organe. Napominjemo da su državni funkcioneri, ukoliko su bili izloženi ucjeni, obavezni da prijave krivično djelo, a ovo tužilaštvo nije u saznanju da je neko krivično djelo prema ovim licima i učinjeno - navedeno je u odgovorima ODT-a dostavljenim Portalu ETV.

The Police Directorate is taking measures within its jurisdiction following threats made on social media against Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) Member of Parliament Ivan Vuković, stating that he is „ripe for a trunk“ („stasao za gepek“ - a phrase which implies a threat of violence).
This was unofficially confirmed to Portal ETV.
It was also unofficially stated that an order to collect information has been issued and that the Podgorica Basic State Prosecutor’s Office has been informed of the case.
The Podgorica Basic State Prosecutor’s Office confirmed to the ETV Portal that the prosecutor has been informed about the incident.
– Police Directorate officers have been instructed to undertake the necessary measures and actions prescribed by law with the aim of clarifying the decisive facts – the response from this prosecutor’s office states.
Yesterday, Vuković posted a screenshot of the disputed comment on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and called on the police to respond.
- „Worthless goods“ and „thief“ are, apparently, insults that someone involved in politics is expected to endure, especially after simply congratulating the closing of a chapter in the EU accession negotiations. „Ripe for a trunk“ - I’m not so sure - Vuković said in the post.

Endangering security is the criminal offence for which Z. D., a woman from Cetinje who has not lived in the Royal Capital for years, will be held accountable. Via the social network Facebook, she directed horrific threats at Cetinje resident Milo Ivanišević and, as it later emerged, had continuously threatened other citizens of this city as well.
- The state prosecutor at the Basic State Prosecutor’s Office in Podgorica has been informed of the incident and has ordered officers of the Police Directorate to file criminal charges against Z. D. for the criminal offence of endangering security - the Prosecutor’s Office stated briefly this morning.
As previously reported, Z. D. is a native of Cetinje, an architect by profession, educated partly abroad, close to the Serbian Orthodox Church, and engaged in Podgorica on a project involving the construction of a religious and educational facility.
In morbid voice messages sent to Ivanišević on 9 January, she threatened, among other things: „Cetinje residents, days of misery are coming for you“, „...I have saved some human lives and with appetite I can take one, because I trained...“, „...fortunately there aren’t many of you, and there will be even fewer“, „hang your flags, hang them, you gang, and I’ll stuff them all into your mouths and suffocate you with them“, „you’re driven by some communist spite, you little mutt“, „and now pass this around the cafés in Cetinje - someone will recognize me, so come to my house, I’ll unlock the door, let you in, and there’s no way out, you won’t leave alive“.
Ivanišević filed a report with the police that same evening and also informed the Centre for Civic Rights about the incident.
- I would like to stress that I feel threatened and that I fear something like a new Medovina or a new 1 January 2025 could happen - Ivanišević told the police.
Citizens quickly identified Z. D., which the Centre for Civic Rights reported to the Cetinje prosecutor’s office, and the police issued a local wanted notice for her. She was questioned on Saturday, 17 January.
Using her Facebook profile „Ing Arh Zed Ratislavljevna“, Z. D. threatened Ivanišević as well as many other women and men from Cetinje.
Two to three days after Ivanišević filed the criminal complaint with the police, she deleted almost all posts and photographs from her Facebook account.
As previously reported, one of the posts she left behind, dating back to 2023, reads: „Yes, I am. And it’s excellent. The Lord is my banner. Both parents have passed away in God, if I were to die physically now, I have completed my mission. I have crossed out my DPS relatives, all of them. And the hypocrites as well. A black sheep with white hair…“.
On 10 January, the Centre for Civic Rights stated that „in a city that has twice, in a short period of time, been shrouded in black by mass crimes in which 23 of our fellow citizens were killed, including four children, such threats cannot, must not, and will not be viewed as 'isolated incidents' or 'personal conflicts'“.
- Particularly alarming is the fact that both massacres were committed by individuals who, according to publicly available information, were ideologically, value-wise, and factually close to the Serbian Orthodox Church - an institution that in Montenegro has long ceased to function as a religious community and instead operates as a political, hegemonistic and deeply destructive factor - the Center warned then.

Hiljade ljudi okupile su se u subotu u Milanu u znak protesta protiv Zimskih olimpijskih igara, dan nakon svečanog otvaranja u sjevernom italijanskom gradu, dok je manji broj demonstranata bacao petarde i sukobio se sa policijom.
Grupa od oko sto demonstranata bacala je petarde, dimne bombe i boce na policiju nakon što se u subotu izdvojila iz glavne mase demonstranata u Milanu, gradu domaćinu Olimpijskih igara.
Policija, opremljena za razbijanje demonstracija i sa štitovima, odgovorila je vodenim topovima u pokušaju da rastjera grupu, od kojih su neki nosili kapuljače i šalove kako bi prekrili lica. Red je uspostavljen nakon nekoliko minuta.
Nekoliko izgrednika je uhapšeno.
Policija je bila u stanju visoke pripravnosti nakon nasilnih sukoba tokom protesta u Torinu prošlog vikenda, u kojima je povrijeđeno više od sto policajaca.
Rojters javlja da je više od pet hiljada ljudi izašlo na ulice Milana zbog troškova stanovanja i ekoloških problema.
Demonstranti su nosili transparente osuđujući čitav niz problema, od korišćenja vještačkog snijega i sječe drveća, do stambene krize u finansijskoj i modnoj prijestonici Italije.
- Igre više nisu održive sa ekološkog ili društvenog stanovišta, njihovo vrijeme je isteklo - rekla je demonstrantkinja Frančeska Misana za AFP.
Kritičari Zimskih olimpijskih igara žale se na uticaj infrastrukture na krhku planinsku životnu sredinu, kao i na široko rasprostranjenu upotrebu vještačkog snijega, za čiju proizvodnju se intenzivno troše energija i voda.
Drugi tvrde da je za mnoge Milano postao grad u kojem više ne mogu da žive zbog rastućih troškova života, usljed priliva bogatih novih stanovnika privučenih poreskom šemom.
- Ove Igre su promovisane kao održive i neutralne po pitanju troškova - rekao je Alberto di Monte, jedan od organizatora protesta koje su sazvali sindikati, grupe za stambena prava i aktivisti.
Međutim, s obzirom na to da su ovo jedne od geografski najrasprostranjenijih Igara u istoriji - održavaju se na više lokacija rasutih po italijanskim Alpima - milijarde su potrošene na izgradnju puteva, a ne na zaštitu planina, rekao je di Monte za AFP.
U međuvremenu, Milano se pretvorio u „Diznilend za turiste“. Ugostio je niz velikih događaja, ali je zapostavio svoje stanovnike, dodao je.
- Vratimo grad, oslobodimo planine - pisalo je na transparentu jednog demonstranta, dok je na drugom, sa slikom kapi vode, stajalo: „Olimpijske igre me isušuju.“
Demonstrant Đovani Gajani, star šezdeset devet godina, oštro je kritikovao odluku o sječi stotina stabala radi izgradnje sporne bob-staze Milano-Kortina.
Takođe se protestovalo i zbog prisustva agenata američke imigracione i carinske službe ICE, kao dijela obezbjeđenja američkog izaslanstva.
- Slobodna planina, manje ICE-a, više glečera - pisalo je na jednom od transparenata.
Neki demonstranti nosili su palestinske zastave.
