The Basic State Prosecutor's Office (ODT) in Podgorica has opened a case regarding the report of the President of Montenegro Jakov Milatović that he was threatened by the Deputy Prime Minister Nik Đeljošaj, the ODT announced to the RTCG Portal.
As they were told, they will hear the actors and make a decision on the case.
The Office of the President of Montenegro informed the public that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development Nik Đeljošaj sent a series of threats and inappropriate messages to the President of Montenegro Jakov Milatović, immediately after it was announced that the President had returned the Law on Real Estate Tax to the Parliament for a re-decision, with clear and reasoned legal arguments.
As they state in the statement, given the seriousness of the messages and a direct attempt to exert political pressure on the President of the state, the Office of the President of Montenegro informed the Director of the Police Directorate about this.
"We expect the competent institutions to react immediately, in accordance with their obligations under the Constitution and laws of Montenegro. We demand that the Prime Minister dismiss Deputy Prime Minister Đeljošaj without delay. Every minute of silence by the Government at this moment is a message that threats are permitted," the Office of the President announced last night.
On the other hand, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development Nik Đeljošaj said that the announcement by President Jakov Milatović in which he accused him of threatening him is a gross lie. He points out that this is an attempt by Milatović to divert attention, because the Law on Real Estate Tax was returned due to his nepotism with Nebojša Vuksanović, and that the President would gain personal benefit for himself and him.
"With indignation, I reject as a gross untruth the announcement of the accidental president Jakov Milatović, and with full responsibility I announce to the public that it is a big lie that I made a threat, and the messages that remain as a trace of communication can best confirm this," stated Đeljošaj.
He adds that there is a reasonable suspicion that the president posted this false information in order to divert the topic from what he intended to announce.
