PODGORICA, 20.02.2026. – Yesterday, proceedings continued before the Basic Court in Podgorica in the lawsuit filed by Andrej Vučić, brother of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, against the Montenegrin daily Vijesti.
Vučić filed the lawsuit over an article published in January 2024, in which journalist Jelena Jovanović quoted messages from the Sky ECC application. In those exchanges, former police officer Ljubo Milović and Miloš Božović discussed the security services in Montenegro and Serbia during 2020 and 2021, and subsequently mentioned Andrej Vučić and Veselinović.
In addition to Vijesti and journalist Jovanović, editors Mihailo Jovović and Danilo Mihailović are also named as defendants. The younger brother of the Serbian president is seeking €5,000 in damages for alleged harm to his honour and reputation.
According to Vijesti, the court yesterday reviewed the Sky ECC messages submitted by the Special State Prosecutor’s Office and the High Court in Podgorica. In those communications, fugitive police officer Ljubo Milović and Miloš Božović from Nikšić, among other things, allegedly commented that Andrej Vučić, together with controversial businessman Zvonko Veselinović, “held all the strings” and that they had recently celebrated their “first earned billion euros.”
Judge Jelena Anđelić stated that the previous day the High Court and the Special State Prosecutor’s Office had submitted Sky ECC communications exchanged between the accused Ljubo Milović (PIN 5S7GLO) and PIN KRI7T8, accompanied by a CD.
The defendant journalist clarified that Milović is identified under the submitted PIN, but stressed that Miloš Božović from Nikšić is behind the other PIN, although this is not specified in the case files of the High Court and the Special State Prosecutor’s Office.
“From the Sky communication itself, he identifies himself in this and other exchanges. I did not question Miloš Božović’s identity as the second interlocutor, and this is not the first time that journalists have identified one of the participants in a particular event. For that reason, I propose that the court contact either the Special State Prosecutor’s Office or Europol to obtain information and the complete communication stemming from PIN KRI7T8,” the journalist explained.
