Former Head of the Department for the Fight Against Organized Crime Milorad Žižić testified before the High Court that in late November 2020 a meeting was held with colleagues from Serbia, during which information was exchanged regarding the disappearance of Damir Hodžić, Adis Spahić, and Serbian national Lazar Vukićević, as well as other cases.
- That meeting was organized by Assistant Director Zoran Lazović - Žižić stated.
He explained that information was presented about two encrypted phones that had „arrived“ from Serbia. At that meeting, information was also exchanged regarding other criminal offenses.
After some time, Serbian colleague Nevenko Marić informed him that they had been unable to identify the users of the two encrypted phones whose base data had been obtained by Montenegrin police.
- I was informed that it was determined that one phone was switched off immediately after crossing into Serbia, in a border area, and the other near the Partizan Stadium - Žižić said.
He explained that the disappearance of Lazar Vukićević was linked to the disappearance of Damir Hodžić and Adis Spahić.

Zoran Lazović organized a meeting with colleagues from Serbia to exchange information on the disappearances of Hodžić, Spahić and Vukićević

Former Head of the Podgorica Security Center Milovan Pavićević informed me in January 2021 that his colleague from Serbia, Veselin Milić, had notified him that Serbian nationals Veljko Belivuk and Marko Miljković had purchased airline tickets and would be landing at Tivat Airport. I immediately informed Assistant Director of Police Zoran Lazović, with whom I agreed to contact the Head of the Herceg Novi Security Center, Goran Banićević, to deploy the best officers and place Belivuk and Miljković under constant surveillance - former Head of the Department for the Fight Against Organized Crime Milorad Žižić testified as a witness before the High Court during the trial of former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić, former senior police official Zoran Lazović and suspended prosecutor Saša Čađenović.
Žižić was explicit that, at the time Belivuk and Miljković entered Montenegro, authorities did not have information linking them to the murders of Damir Hodžić and Adis Spahić. Information about their involvement was obtained in June 2021, after receiving an intelligence package from Europol, following a request by Montenegrin police to identify two IMEI phone numbers. Subsequent data provided helped identify the suspects in the murders of Hodžić and Spahić.
In his detailed testimony, Žižić explained that after Belivuk and Miljković arrived in Montenegro, he received a call from Serbian colleague Nevenko Marić, who worked in the Department for the Fight Against Serious Crime, requesting that Montenegrin police determine the purpose of their visit, the duration of their stay, their accommodation, and their contacts.
- I immediately informed Banićević. He contacted me and said that they had been brought in for questioning, and that at the airport they were met by Miloš Radonjić, a member of the „Kavač“ clan - Žižić stated.
He emphasized that the priority was to „cover“ the area, especially the entry and exit points of the Kavač settlement. According to him, both uniformed police and operational units were deployed.
- In my conversation with Marić, I also asked that an Interpol request be sent covering all the details they were interested in, which they did. That telegram was forwarded to the Kotor Security Department and an immediate response was provided - Žižić said.
He further explained that during that period, authorities were heavily engaged in activities aimed at preventing the assassination of Slobodan Kašćelan. As he stated, they received information that the planned execution was to be carried out by placing a large quantity of explosives on a vehicle, but that the individuals who had planned the attack subsequently redirected their focus to Belivuk and Miljković.
- Their priority was Belivuk, and Miljković if possible - Žižić recounted.
He stated that the planned attack was prevented. Belivuk and Miljković were arrested upon their return to Belgrade.
Žižić also explained the details surrounding the failure to prosecute Duško Roganović, a member of the Kavač criminal group, whom Milan Kankaraš had accused in his testimony of being the main figure responsible for street-level drug distribution.
Several individuals close to Duško Roganović were arrested, but Roganović himself was not.
- As was customary, prior to operational action we went to a meeting with the then Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić. Prosecutor Saša Čađenović and I informed him at that time of the details related to the Duško Roganović case and street-level drug trafficking. Katnić asked several questions, including whether, apart from Kankaraš’s testimony, there had been any drug seizures in the Boka region, and whether there was any evidence to corroborate Kankaraš’s statement, which we did not have. After that, the Chief Special Prosecutor told us to continue working, gather evidence, and that the prosecution of Roganović should be a priority - Žižić said.
He added that in March 2021, when the „Sky“ system was taken down, they submitted a request to Europol with the aim of shedding light on the most serious criminal offenses.
After receiving the data, a criminal complaint was filed against Roganović for forming a criminal organization and for participation in the murder of Milo Radulović.
&nbsp;In addition to Žižić, Nusret Hodžić was also heard today in the capacity of a witness. His son Damir and son-in-law Adis Spahić were killed in October 2020.
He stated that six to seven months after the disappearance of his son and son-in-law, the family was informed that they had been murdered.
- To this day, all I ask is that they find my child. His bones. Special Prosecutor Saša Čađenović cried more than I did. I asked him why he was crying for my son - Hodžić said.
The criminal group accused of their murders is, according to the position of the Special State Prosecutor’s Office (SDT), led by Kotor native Radoje Zvicer. The indictment also includes Radoje Živković, Milan Vujotić, Dragan Knežević, Marko Miljković, and Veljko Belivuk.
Nusret Hodžić testified that he reported the disappearance of his son-in-law to the police on October 14 or 15, 2020.
- I did not know that my son was with him, because at that time he was not coming to Montenegro. My son-in-law asked me for a car on October 14 so he could go to Žabljak. My daughter later told me that Spahić had not answered his phone all day. I headed toward Žabljak, thinking he might have run off the road. After that, we reported the disappearance. We asked the police for help - Hodžić said.
He also stated that he and his family launched a private investigation and collected CCTV footage from nearby houses.
- We went to Žižić several times. After six or seven months, we were told that they had been killed - Hodžić said.
He added that the private investigation was halted after several days.
- A police officer named Rakonjac, I’m not sure if his first name was Vladimir, told us that we would be detained if we continued to interfere with the police investigation - Hodžić stated.
Prosecutor Čađenović said that the witness testimony indicates that in 2020 the investigation consisted of information-gathering activities, and that during that period neither the SSPO nor any other prosecutor’s office was aware of the criminal offense, as the case was being handled as a missing persons case.
- It was only in the summer of 2021, with the arrival of the Sky material, that the SSPO began acting in this case - Čađenović said.
The investigation, he added, has not yet been completed, nor have the remains been found.
The trial continues tomorrow, when Žižić will resume answering questions from Special Prosecutor Miloš Šoškić, as well as questions from the defense and the defendants.

ŽIŽIĆ TESTIMONY: We learned in June of 2021 that Belivuk and Miljković were involved in the murders of Spahić and Hodžić

Bivši načelnik Odsjeka za borbu protiv organizovanig kriminalan Milorad Žižić u Višem sudu je ispričao i da su krajem novembra 2020. imali sastanak sa kolegama iz Srbije na kojem su razmjenjivali informacije o nestanku Damira Hodžića, Adisa Spahića i Lazara Vukićevića iz Srbije, ali i za druge slučajeve.
- Taj sastanak je organizovao pomoćnik direktora Zoran Lazović - kazao je Žižić.
On je ispričao da su im predočili informacije o dva kriptovana telefona koja su "došla" iz Srbije. Na tom sastanku su razmjenjivali informacije i za druga krivična djela.
Nakon nekog perioda kolega iz Srbije Nevenko Marić ga je je obavijestio da nijesu uspjele da identifikuju korisnike dva kriptovana telefona do čijih baznih podataka je došla crnogorska policija.
- Saopšteno mi je da je utvrđeno da je jedan telefon ugašen odmah nakon prelaska u Srbiju, u pograničnom predjelu a drugi kod stadiona Partizana - kazao je Žižić.
On je objasnio da je nestanak Lazara Vukićevića bio u uzročno-posljedičnoj vezi sa nestankom &nbsp;Damira Hodžića i Adisa Spahića.

Zoran Lazović organizovao sastanak sa kolegama iz Srbije na kojem su razmjenjivali informacije o nestancima Hodžića, Spahića i Vukićevića

Apelacioni sud Crne Gore je odbio kao neosnovane žalbe Višeg državnog &nbsp;tužilaštva u Podgorici i branilaca optuženog E.S. i potvrdio presudu Višeg suda u &nbsp;Podgorici kojom je osuđen za dječju pornografiju na dvije godine i dva mjeseca zatvora, dok će mu se za obljubu nad djetetom ponovo suditi.
Uvažene su žalbe Višeg državnog tužilaštva u Podgorici i punomoćnika oštećenog maloljetnog djeteta, pa je ukinuta presuda Višeg suda u Podgorici u odnosu na produženo krivično djelo obljuba sa djetetom i predmet u tom dijelu vratio prvostepenom sudu na ponovno suđenje.&nbsp;
Odluka je donijeta nakon sjednice vijeća od 27. januara 2026.godine, sa koje je bila isključena javnost.
Prvostepenom presudom optuženi je oslobođen od optužbe da je izvršio produženo krivično djelo obljuba sa djetetom.

Apelacioni sud potvrdio presudu za dječju pornografiju, a o obljubi nad djetetom će ponovo suditi

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.

Mrkić’s defense requested a postponement, trial to continue on March 16

​Suđenje Stefanu Đukiću, Emilu Tuzoviću i ostalim članovima njihove kriminalne organizacije, koji se terete za planiranje likvidacija tužilaca i policijskih službenika, privedeno je kraju, javlja <a href="https://www.dan.co.me/vijesti/hronika/sudenje-dukicu-i-grupi-za-planiranje-likvidacija-tuzilaca-i-policijskih-sluzbenika-zavrsne-rijeci-17-marta-5336227">Dan.</a>
Sudija Višeg suda u Podgorici Zoran Radović zakazao je iznošenje završnih riječi za 17. mart.
​Prethodno je odbrani uručio izmijenjeni činjenični opis optužnice, koji je dostavio specijalni tužilac Miroslav Turković. Takođe, advokatu Gorana Milašinovića dostavljen je dopis pravosudnih organa Francuske, o kojem će se odbrana izjasniti na narednom ročištu.​
​Tokom postupka, ključna tačka sporenja ostala je zakonitost dokaza pribavljenih putem SKY ECC aplikacije. Advokat Nikola Tomković tvrdi da se ovi podaci ne mogu koristiti kao dokaz jer su pribavljeni suprotno odredbama Zakona o krivičnom postupku. ​Odbrana tvrdi da su podaci prikupljeni "hakovanjem".
Pored Đukića, Tuzovića i Milašinovića, optužnicom su obuhvaćeni ​Zoran Perović, Dušan Dudić, Milan Brajović, Nino Korać, Stefan Mićić, Aleksandar Raičević, Dušan Boljević, Albin R. Salić, Branko D. Pejanović, Haris Tuzović i Bojan G. Lopičić. Prema policijskim evidencijama, oni se dovode u vezu sa "barskim klanom", ogrankom kriminalne strukture koju navodno predvodi Luka Bojović.

​Suđenje Đukiću i grupi za planiranje likvidacija tužilaca i policijskih službenika: Završne riječi 17. marta

Direktor Uprave policije Lazar Šćepanović saopštio je da je policija utvrdila gdje je Miloš Medenica boravio u noći kada je napustio svoj stan i ko mu je dao logistiku, ali detalje te informacije nije htio da otkrije javnosti.
On je, gostujući u emisiji Načisto na Televiziji Vijesti, rekao da je pregledom video nadzora utvrđeno da je 27. januara, odnosno dan prije izricanja presude kojom je Medenica osuđen na 10 godina i dva mjeseca zatvora, a poslije 18 sati u njegov stan došla njegova majka Vesna Medenica, te da je on izašao oko 23 sata.
- U večernjim satima u 23.03 lice se udaljilo iz stana na određenu lokaciju, za koju su službeinci utvrdili gdje je boravio i ko mu je pružio logistiku i upoznali državnog tužioca koji daje naloge i dobija naredbe suda za preduzimanje mjera i radnji. Radi zaštite potrage, kako se ne bi uticalo na određena lica i mjere koje će, nadam se, dati rezultate, moram da dodam da je pregledano preko 100 objekata u Crnoj Gori - rekao je on.
Šćepanović ističe da je policija na desetine puta provjeravala provjere na određenim lokacijama.
- Supruga potraživanog lica je podnijela pritužbu na rad policije zbog uznemiravanja i socijalnom radu, a majka prigovor da će tražiti zaštitu ljudskih prava... - rekao je on.
<h2>„Medenica će, ako bude pravde, biti prinuđen sam da se preda da bi vadio majku iz pritvora“</h2>
Šćepanović je, osvrnuvši se na <a href="https://etv.me/hronika/drustvenim-mrezama-kruzi-novi-snimak-na-kojem-je-navodno-medenica-scepanovicu-obecavam-da-cu-da-se-predam-ako-podneses-ostavku-ili-te-smijene">novi snimak</a> koji kruži društvenim mrežama, a na kojem je navodno Miloš Medenica, poručio da će on, ako bude pravde, biti prinuđen sam da se preda kako bi vadio majku iz pritvora.
- Uzimajući u obzir da članovi kriminalnih grupa danas putem frejmova daju deep fake, gdje je utvrđeno od grupe koje sa bavi sajber bezbjednosti, želim da kažem da će se, ukoliko bude pravde u ovoj državi, njegovoj majki odrediti pritvor - pa će, prije nego što ja podnesem ostavku, Miloš Medenica biti prinuđen da se sam preda kako bi vadio svoju majku iz pritvora - poručio je on.

Ovo je, decidan je Šćepanović, vještačka inteligencija. To je, kaže on, utvrdila grupa za visokotehnološki kriminalitet u okviru Sektora za borbu protiv kriminala.
- Da bi Forenzički centar sprovodio dokazne radnje, mora postojati naredba nadležnog tužioca. Grupa za visokotehnološki kriminalitet u okviru Sektora za borbu protiv kriminala, koja se bavi sajber bezbjednošću na osnovu iskustva, znanja i alata koje koriste, obavijestila me da se radi o vještačkoj inteligenciji - rekao je on u emisiji Načisto na Televiziji Vijesti.
Šćepanović je naglasio da bi za angažovanje Forenzičkog centra zarad provjera ovih snimaka, trebalo da postoji krivično djelo.&nbsp;
<h2>Pokrenuti mehanizmi raspisivanja nacionalne i međunarodne potjernice za Lidijom Mitrović</h2>
On je poručio da će biti pronađena bivša tužiteljka Specijalnog državnog tužilaštva (SDT) Lidija Mitrović koja je osuđena na sedam mjeseci zbog zloupotrebe položaja, a koju policija, takođe potražuje.
- Pokrenuli smo mehanizme raspisvanja nacionalne i međunarodne potjernice - saopštio je direktor Uprave policije.
On je rekao da postupanje policije u ovom slučaju, sve do naloga za prinudno dovođenje, nije postojalo.
- Apelacioni sud je 6. maja potvrdio pravosnažnost presude i ona se slobodno kretala širom Crne Gore i regiona. Kad je Uprava policije dobila prvi nalog, njene obaveze nastupaju 19. janura. Tu je vakum od četiri-pet dana zbog procesa dostavljanja odluke. Policija je preduzela sveobuhvatne provjere u više gradova i lokacija, formalno je obavijestila sud nekih devet ili 10 dana.. - naveo je on.
Ne može se, podvlači Šćepanović, raspisati nacionalna potjernica bez pravnog osnova jer se osobam možda nalazi na teritoriji države, a da policija nije provjerila sve adrese na kojima ono boravi.
- Lidija Mitrović će biti pronađena. Pokretnuli smo mehanizme raspisivanja nacionalne i međunarodne potjernice - poručio je Šćepanović.
On je dodao da nije isključena mogućnost da je Mitrović na teritoriji Crne Gore.
- Poručujem Mitrovuić, jer je majka djece, da ne treba da se krije jer ćemo je pronaći i nećemo dozvoliti da njena kazna zastari - naglasio je Šćepanović.
<h2>Radović se nada pozitivnom epilogu u oba slučaja</h2>
Predsjednik Višeg suda Zoran Radović ocijenio je da bjekstvo Miloša Medenice i Lidije Mitrović nije dobra poruka, ali istakao i da vjeruje da ćemo na kraju imati pozitivan epilog u pogledu prava i pravičnosti u oba slučaja.
On je, gostujući u emisiji Načisto na Televizij Vijesti, ukazao da postoji razlika između slučaja Medenice i Mitrović.
- U prvom slučaju se radi o bjekstvu nakon izricanja prvostepene presude na 10 godina i dva mjeseca, a druga je pravosnažna presuda protiv Mitrović na sedam mjeseci zatvora za zloupotrebu službenog položaja koju je potvrdio Apelacioni sud koji je trebalo da je uputi na izdržavanje kazne zatvora - naveo je on.
Ministar pravde Bojan Božović ocijenio je da ovo baca sjenku na cjelokupno društvo.
- Ali želim da gledam i neke druge stvari koje su pozitivne - što su presude koje su počele, pravosnažna presuda u slučaju Lidije Mitrović.. To su događaji koji su ranije bili daleko od realnosti. Ovo jesu izazavi koje moramo zajedno rješavati vidjeti koje su karike zakazale - naglasio je Božović.
Uvijek, kaže, imamo mehanizme i međunarodnih potjernica.
- Danas sam obaviješten da se slična procedura pokreće i po pitanju Lidije Mitrović... Biće i ti mehanizmi - naveo je on.

Šćepanović: Znamo gdje je Medenica bio kad je napustio svoj stan u noći prije izricanja presude i ko mu je pružao logistiku

Jovanka Krunić, an associate at the Special State Prosecutor’s Office who was in charge of financial investigations, told the High Court that former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić had never asked her to alter a document or conceal anything for any member of the „Kavač“ or „Škaljari“ criminal clans. As she stated, she only received positive guidance, and Katnić was involved in the most complex investigations.
In her testimony at the trial of Katnić, former senior police official Zoran Lazović, and suspended prosecutor Saša Čađenović, Krunić also said that in a single year more than 200 individuals from criminal clans had been checked.
- More than 90 individuals from the „Kavač“ clan and over 80 from the „Škaljari“ clan were prosecuted - Krunić said. She added that she worked on almost all of those cases with prosecutor Saša Čađenović.
Krunić further explained that prior to 2022, while Katnić was serving as Chief Special Prosecutor, she received operational information that Ljubo Milović was planning to purchase a bank in Montenegro or to act as an intermediary in such a purchase.
- I am not certain whether he was purchasing the bank or mediating the transaction. We were supposed to monitor whether a sale would take place, but it was never realized. I believe Ukrainian nationals were also involved - Krunić said.
She stated that she was not sure whether she received this information from Katnić, from the head of the Special Police Department Dragan Radonjić, or from Čađenović.
Before the judicial panel presided over by Judge Veljko Radovanović, Krunić said that during her questioning at the SSPO she had been presented with a document related to Ljubo Milović, which had been created under her account under the title „Milovići“.
- That document was created in September 2022, and the most logical conclusion is that the order came from Special Prosecutor Zoran Vučinić - Krunić explained.
Vučinić instructed her to check a financial transaction exceeding 40 million euros, and according to the witness, she was tasked with obtaining information on whether the transaction had been carried out.
In response to Katnić’s question, she said they were unable to locate the funds, but they did receive guidance on where the money might have originated.
She said she does not know the outcome of those checks, as her colleagues continued working on the case while she was assigned to other matters.
Krunić explained that she conducted the checks based on information from publicly available sources.
- These data served as signposts for further searches and verifications - the witness emphasized.
Prosecutor Miloš Šoškić requested that the judicial panel prohibit Katnić from asking questions related to details of the Ljubo Milović case, as the matter is still active and such questioning could jeopardize the investigation.
Šoškić believes that Krunić’s testimony refuted Katnić’s defense that he had worked on the Milović case, as that case was not opened until July 19, 2022, and that „10, 15, or 20 million euros were deposited into Milović’s account“.
Katnić, on the other hand, pointed out that on May 11, 2024, the „Vijesti“ news portal published all data regarding payments that Ukrainians were supposed to transfer via Germany to Ljubo Milović’s account.
- So much for secrecy - Katnić said. He was categorical in stating that his defense had not been refuted, but that he simply could not recall the exact amount of money with precision.
Čađenović also pointed out that he had not been present during the witness’s questioning at the SSPO.
He emphasized that because Krunić worked on the largest number of cases with him, she left open the possibility that she might have received the information about the bank purchase from him. Krunić stated that she was not certain whether she received the operational information from him, Radonjić, or Katnić.
- She did not receive any information about Ljubo Milović from me - Čađenović said.
He stressed that it is undisputed that from 2016 to 2022 a significantly larger number of individuals from the „Kavač“ criminal clan were prosecuted, and that he worked on those cases.
At today’s hearing, Milan Mrvaljević was also heard as a witness. He said that he has been a long-time friend of the Katnić family.
While construction work was being carried out on properties in Barjamovica, a man employed by him delivered stone and soil because he had surplus materials, but he did not do this only for the Katnić family, but also for many people he wanted to help.
- As far as those properties in Barjamovica are concerned, I did not examine the paperwork, but I was told that they are the property of the Katnić family - Mrvaljević testified.
Katnić said that Mrvaljević had spoken truthfully and sincerely, as befits an honest man.
He pointed out that the properties are owned by himself, his two brothers, and his nephew.
The trial will continue on February 10, when former head of the Department for the Fight against Organized Crime Milorad Žižić is scheduled to testify.

Krunić: We checked information on whether Milović planned to buy a bank, Katnić never asked me to alter any document

The entry of Serbian nationals Veljko Belivuk and Marko Miljković was an operational activity, and the lifting of the measure was justified given that three criminal offenses were prevented at the time. Had I been the one handling that case, I would have acted in exactly the same way. Former official Zoran Lazović never asked me to grant privileges to anyone. I never heard, nor did I have any operational knowledge, that Zoran Lazović and his son Petar had any links to criminal activities - former Acting Director of the Police Directorate Vesko Damjanović stated before the High Court.
He testified today at the trial of former senior police official Zoran Lazović, former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić and suspended prosecutor Saša Čađenović, whom the Special State Prosecutor’s Office (SDT) charges with subordinating their official positions to the „Kavač“ criminal clan, allegations they have denied in their defenses.
- Veljko Belivuk and Marko Miljković were persons of security interest, associated with the Grobari supporters’ group and also believed to cooperate with the „Kavač“ criminal clan. When they entered Montenegro in January 2021, we had no information about Ritopek, nor that they had illegally entered Montenegro six months earlier and committed criminal offenses - Damjanović said.
Regarding the entry of Miljković and Belivuk, he explained that he was informed by the head of the Herceg Novi Security Center or by one of the officers from Tivat.
Damjanović then, as he said, contacted the then Assistant Director of the Police Directorate Enis Baković, who informed him that the Boka Security Branch was undertaking certain activities.
- Zoran Lazović came to me and informed me in detail about the activities underway. They had information that a liquidation of Belivuk and Miljković was being planned, the second activity was aimed at preventing the murder of Slobodan Kašćelan, and the third at preventing the liquidation of Marko Ljubiša Kan in Budva - Damjanović said.
At that point, he stated, he told Lazović that Miljković and Belivuk should be kept under 24-hour surveillance to prevent them from being killed.
In response to a question from one of Lazović’s defense attorneys Zoran Piperović, the witness said that members of several organizational units participated in the Belivuk-Miljković operation.
- I believe that officers of the Criminal Police Sector, headed by Enis Baković, also participated in the operational activities related to the Belivuk and Miljković operation - Damjanović said while answering attorney Piperović’s question.
According to the witness, Baković should have known that his officers were involved in surveillance activities.
Damjanović reiterated that he had no information that Zoran or Petar Lazović had any involvement with organized criminal groups, including Radoje Zvicer, whom police identify as one of the leaders of the „Kavač“ criminal group.
The witness made this statement after attorney Piperović presented excerpts from the indictment.
In response to a question from attorney Nikola Martinović, Damjanović was categorical that there was no rulebook governing the placing of individuals under operational measures.
- As we placed them under measures, so we removed them - Damjanović said, adding that there was no regulation prescribing either the imposition or the lifting of such measures.
In these cases, he explained, no decision banning entry into the country was issued.
In response to a question from the defendant Lazović, the witness said that he informed him that Belivuk and Miljković were under 24-hour surveillance and that their contacts were being monitored.
After the conclusion of the testimony, prosecutor Šoškić stated that Damjanović had repeatedly said that the ban had been lifted and that his testimony was consistent with the testimony of the now-deceased S. Đ. and with the provisions of the Law on Foreigners.
In response, attorney Piperović pointed out that although the testimony was consistent with that of S. Đ, it was not consistent with two crucial matters.
- He does not agree with the operative part of the indictment at all, he is completely at odds with it. Where does the Law on Foreigners come from now, because if I read correctly, that law is not mentioned in the operative part of the indictment. Witness Damjanović confirmed what Zoran Lazović stated in his defense - Piperović said.
The attorney asked what purpose these and future witnesses serve, given that there are no legal consequences.
Attorney Stefan Jovanović stated that the „lifting of the ban on entry into Montenegro“ was an operational activity and that witness Damjanović had indicated it was a successful operation.
- The operational activity was not accompanied by a formal decision on a ban on entry - Jovanović said.
In addition to Damjanović, witness Nikola Žižić was also examined today. He has been employed in the Department for the Fight Against Crime since 2020. He was categorical that he had never heard, nor had anyone ever asked him, to ensure that a person was not prosecuted - neither Zoran Lazović nor Čađenović, and that he had never discussed cases with them.
The trial continues tomorrow with the examination of witnesses Jovanka Krunić and Milan Mrvaljević.

Damjanović: Had I been handling the Belivuk and Miljković case, I would have acted in exactly the same way

The police should have intensified surveillance of the accused Miloš Medenica and taken into account the fact that the pronouncement of the verdict had been scheduled, Professor of criminal psychology and security expert Sandi Dizdarević told Portal ETV, commenting on the latest information that inspectors are searching for the son of former President of the Supreme Court Vesna Medenica following the High Court’s decision sentencing him to ten years and two months in prison.
High Court Judge Vesna Kovačević ordered Medenica’s detention yesterday during the delivery of the verdict, but police did not find him at his residential address. Miloš Medenica had been in pre-trial detention from May 2022 until 17 October 2025, when it was lifted and replaced with house arrest. He was released from the Remand Prison because no first-instance verdict had been delivered within three years, and a measure banning him from leaving his apartment was imposed.
Dizdarević explained that supervision over the enforcement of imposed measures falls within the competence of the police, which determines whether the accused is complying with the measures through regular and unannounced - extraordinary - visits.
- There are also additional techniques such as electronic monitoring - an electronic ankle bracelet - where a movement perimeter is defined, and if it is violated, that is, if the accused exceeds the permitted range, an automatic signal is triggered at the police - Dizdarević explained.
Several interlocutors from the security sector explained that Montenegro does not have the technical equipment for electronic monitoring - ankle bracelets. According to them, the police are obliged to implement control measures, visit the residence address, maintain contact with the accused, conduct operational checks and surveillance, and regularly report on this to the court.
Sources from the security sector believe that on the eve of and on the day of the pronouncement of the verdict, the police were obliged to „cover“ the High Court in Podgorica, as well as the address where the accused were staying, both on the ground and operationally, in order to ensure the conditions for the enforcement of the court decision.

Dizdarević: Police should have increased surveillance of Medenica

Banke su dobile preporuku da ograniče nove kupovine i smanje postojeće pozicije, javlja Bloomberg koji se poziva na anonimne upućene izvore.
Očekuje se da će kineske banke pratiti smjernice regulatora kako bi smanjile rizik i izbjegle potencijalne gubitke u slučaju velikih tržišnih oscilacija, prenosi Tanjug.
Zvaničnici naglašavaju da se radi o smanjenju tržišnog rizika, a ne o političkom potezu ili gubitku povjerenja u američku ekonomiju. Tržišta su reagovala blago, pošto su kamatne stope na američke obveznice porasle, dok je dolar oslabio u odnosu na glavne valute.
Kina trenutno drži oko 298 milijardi USD obveznica u dolarima, ali je ukupno držanje američkih obveznica palo tokom posljednje decenije – sa vrhunca od preko 1,1 bilion USD 2013. godine na 683 milijarde u novembru prošle godine.
Globalni investitori postaju sve oprezniji prema američkom dugu zbog neizvjesnosti oko fiskalne politike i ranijih izjava predsjednika Donalda Trumpa o dolaru i carinama.
Analitičari takođe ističu da je posljednjih godina došlo do diverzifikacije stranih ulaganja, pa zemlje i investitori, pored američkog dolara, traže alternativne opcije koje nude stabilan prinos uz niži rizik.

Kina savjetuje banke da izbjegavaju američke obveznice

Danas se širom svijeta obilježava Dan bezbjednog interneta (Safer Internet Day), međunarodna inicijativa posvećena promociji sigurnijeg, odgovornijeg i kvalitetnijeg korišćenja interneta, sa posebnim fokusom na djecu i mlade.
Iako digitalno okruženje nudi brojne mogućnosti za učenje, komunikaciju i razvoj, dostupni podaci ukazuju na ozbiljne rizike i izazove koji zahtijevaju sistemski odgovor kroz edukaciju i saradnju svih relevantnih društvenih aktera.
Prema istraživanjima o digitalnim navikama djece u Crnoj Gori, čak 91 odsto djece uzrasta od 9 do 17 godina koristi internet, dok ga 87 odsto koristi svakodnevno. Profil na društvenim mrežama ima 72 odsto djece, pri čemu dio njih javno dijeli lične podatke. Trećina djece navodi da ne zna kako da promijeni postavke privatnosti ili zaštiti svoje podatke na mreži, dok je 38 odsto izjavilo da je tokom prethodne godine imalo najmanje jedno neprijatno iskustvo na internetu, poput uznemiravanja, neželjenog sadržaja ili poruka. Dodatno zabrinjava podatak da se oko polovine djece ne osjeća sigurno u online okruženju.
Slični trendovi bilježe se i na globalnom nivou, gdje se mladi korisnici interneta sve češće suočavaju sa cyberbullyingom, neprimjerenim sadržajima i zloupotrebom ličnih podataka. Ovi pokazatelji jasno ukazuju na potrebu za snažnijim i koordinisanim pristupom koji uključuje obrazovni sistem, razvoj digitalne pismenosti, ali i aktivniju ulogu roditelja, nastavnika i institucija.
Statistika potvrđuje da intenzivno korišćenje interneta nije praćeno adekvatnim znanjem o digitalnoj bezbjednosti, što dodatno povećava ranjivost djece u online prostoru. Nedovoljna informisanost o rizicima i zaštitnim mehanizmima, kao i ograničena podrška odraslih, čine djecu posebno izloženom potencijalnim zloupotrebama.
Dan bezbjednog interneta predstavlja važnu priliku da se ukaže na prisutne rizike, promovišu konkretne mjere zaštite djece u digitalnom okruženju, te unaprijedi edukacija mladih, roditelja i nastavnika o odgovornom i bezbjednom korišćenju savremenih tehnologija.

Dan bezbjednog interneta: Djeca u Crnoj Gori sve prisutnija online, ali nedovoljno zaštićena

Francuski predsjednik Emanuel Makron rekao je danas da bi Evropa trebalo da se pripremi na nove napetosti u odnosima sa SAD i da nedavni spor oko Grenlanda shvati kao znak za buđenje kako bi se progurale dugo odlagane ekonomske reforme i ojačala moć Evropske unije (EU).
U intervjuima objavljenim u više evropskih novina, Makron je rekao da Evropa ne bi smjela da zatišje u odnosima sa Vašingtonom pogrešno protumači kao trajnu promjenu, uprkos prividnom okončanju sporova oko Grenlanda, trgovine i tehnologije.
- Kada postoji jasan čin agresije, mislim da ne treba da se povijamo ili pokušavamo da postignemo nagodbu. Tu strategiju smo pokušavali mesjecima. Ne funkcioniše - rekao je Makron, prenosi N1.
On je podržao je ideju o novom zajedničkom zaduživanju zemalja EU, poput euroobveznica, što bi finansiralo strateške investicije i omogućilo EU da "izazove hegemoniju dolara", prenosi Mond.
Makron je ocijenio administraciju Donalda Trampa kao "otvoreno anti-evropsku" koja teži "rasparčavanju" EU.
- SAD će nas u narednim mjesecima, u to nema sumnje, napadati zbog digitalne regulative - dodao je Makron, upozoravajući na mogućnost uvođenja američkih carina na uvoz ukoliko EU primijeni Akt o digitalnim uslugama kako bi kontrolisala tehnološke kompanije.
Lideri EU sastaće se u četvrtak u Briselu na samitu na kojem će razgovarati o mjerama za jačanje ekonomije Unije i njenoj sposobnosti da se na globalnoj sceni suprotstavi SAD i Kini.

Makron: Evropa da se pripremi na nove napetosti u odnosima sa SAD

Američki potpredsjednik Džej Di Vens izjavio je da će se pregovori o Grenlandu održati "u narednih nekoliko mjeseci", kako bi se postigao dogovor o nekoj vrsti rješenja.
On je u razgovoru sa novinarima u Jermeniji izjavio da SAD treba da "dobiju neku korist" od ulaganja u bezbjednost Arktika.
Vens je ponovo kritikovao Dansku, čija je autonomna teritorija Grenland, da "nije dovoljno investirala u bezbjednost Arktika", prenosi Guardian.
- Grenland je veoma važan za nacionalnu bezbjednost Sjedinjenih Američkih Država. Mislim da neki od naših saveznika nisu dovoljno ulagali u bezbjednost Arktik - &nbsp;naveo je američki potpresjednik.
Dodao je da ako SAD treba da se angažuju i daju novac za ulaganja u region, trebalo bi i da "imaju neku korist od toga".
