PODGORICA, 3.11.2021 – The fact that the suspect in the two murders in the alleged denial revealed that he knows where the journalist who witnessed one of the two liquidations he is charged with, does not have an element of threat in the criminal law sense.

This was stated by the basic state prosecutor Ivana Petrusic Vukasevic, rejecting the criminal complaint filed by Jelena Jovanovic filed against Mario Milosevic and his legal representative Natalija Karadzic, for endangering security, ie endangering security through assistance.

Jovanovic filed the report after the lawyer delivered a letter to her official e-mail address on July 28, called a denial, in which the information about her whereabouts was also stated.

Shortly afterwards, the “Vijesti” journalist received an all-day police escort and protection due to the threat. She had previously received information about the preparation of her murder.

According to the decision, the prosecutor, by analyzing the entire case file, assessed that there is no grounded suspicion that Milosevic and Karadzic committed any criminal offense for which they are being prosecuted ex officio.

“The State Prosecutor bases this position on the fact that the applicant Jelena Jovanovic pointed out that the feeling of endangerment was created by the fact that in the denial in question the reported Milosevic indicated the place where she lives, which could lead to members of criminal clans being able to follow her movements as well as the movements of her family members. However, despite the fact that the reported Mario Milosevic in the disputed text asked the question: ‘Does the apartment at the “Stari Aerodrom” have to be repaid by slandering Mario Milosevic and writing nonsense about him’, I appreciate that the content of this sentence, both individually and even in the context of the entire text, there are no elements of a threat in the criminal law sense”, the decision reads.

The prosecutor, among other things, stated that the content of the denial shows that Milosevic appealed to the journalist and representatives of state institutions not to prejudge his guilt and to hear the other side before publishing any information.

According to the operative data of the police, Milosevic is considered a high-ranking member of the Kavac criminal group, and he is in the Directorate for Execution of Criminal Sanctions, due to the accusation that he killed Radomir Djurickovic from Cetinje and the suspicion that he killed Podgorica caterer Miodrag Migi Kruscic, what was witnessed by journalist.
