All 18 DF MPs will be present at Parliament sitting during the discussion on lifting Nebojsa Medojevic’s immunity, Pobjeda reports.
The date for the sitting hasn’t been established yet but the sitting is expected to take place in the next 15 days, having in mind that the Administrative Committee proposed lifting Medojevic’s immunity on Monday.
Thus, formally, DF would break the 10-month opposition Parliament boycott although it claims it’s done “in self-defence”.
A source close to DF disclosed that the decision had already been made and that the alliance’s MPs want to meet chief special prosecutor Milivoje Katnic.
One of the DF leaders, Andrija Mandic, also hinted at such a possibility when he invited Katnic to come to Parliament and attend discussion on Medojevic’s immunity.
“Coward, come to the Parliament,” Mandic said then.
Katnic was in an official visit to the USA when the Administrative Board proposed lifting the MP’s immunity. According to the Rules of Procedure, the prosecutor is not obliged to attend the Parliament’s sitting.
Part of opposition, except for the Democratic Montenegro (DCG), has already engaged in intense negotiations on the conditions for the opposition’s return to Parliament.
The Special Prosecutor’s Office (SDT) suspects that Medojevic, together with Momir Nikolic, an entrepreneur from Bosnia-Herzegovina, organised a criminal group aimed at money laundering.
They allegedly created a criminal plan to put the money Nikolic had illegally gained into legal flows. Nikolic allegedly earned money through the construction work as an entrepreneur of the Tivat-based Graditelj company “by failing to report these funds as income to the competent authorities and thus avoiding the payment of legal obligations”.
In addition, Medojevic and Nikolic are suspected of creating a plan to put the money gained through illegal exchange of foreign currencies and money obtained for illegal financing of certain political parties into legal flows.
