Niksic Basic State Prosecutor’s Office failed to prove police suspicions that Andjelka and Matija Bojovic, mother and a cousin of the Zemun Clan’s leader Luka Bojovic, planned to commit any criminal offense against Niksic resident Ratko Koljensic.
The two Bojovic family members were arrested a month ago near Koljensic’s house on suspicion of having committed the criminal offense of plotting against Koljensic, who is charged with the murder of Luka’s brother Nikola Bojovic. They were also charged with illegal possession of weapons and explosive materials, because a lot of weapons and ammunition were found when their cottage in Zabljak was searched.
However, after the investigation, the Basic State Prosecutor’s Office filed an indictment against Matija Bojovic only for illegal possession of weapons. The office gave up prosecuting him for any other criminal offense.
Bojovic has been in remand prison and his custody has been extended. All criminal charges prosecuted ex officio against Andjelka Bojovic have been dropped.
Matija and Andjelka were arrested on 26 July in the Strasevina neighbourhood in Niksic in the vicinity of Koljensic’s house.
After the arrest, the police searched Matija Bojovic’s house in Niksic. They found 20 bullets, a hand grenade box and two radio transceivers.
Investigators believed that the two suspects prepared murder of Koljensic, who was released from prison in December last year. Since then, he has been under constant police supervision due to information from the security services that his life was endangered.
Ratko Koljensic was in custody with Slobodan Saranovic since the end of July 2013 on suspicion that he organised the killings of Nikola Bojovic in Belgrade on 29 April 2013 and Milos Vidakovic.
Saranovic was killed on 11 March this year in front of his house in Dubovica. The killers fired nearly 30 bullets from two weapons in him.
Within the investigation of Saranovic’s murder, members of the Bar-based criminal group led by late Luka Djurovic were questioned. They made statements in the capacity of citizens and they were released because they had an alibi.
According to the operational data of the Montenegrin police, late Saranovic was in conflict with Luka Bojovic’s (43) criminal gang for years. Bojovic’s group controls so-called Skaljari clan from Kotor and a part of Bar-based criminal group of late Djurovic.
Prosecutors marked Sasa Cvetanovic as the direct perpetrator of the murder of Nikola Bojovic. Cvetanovic is being tried in the Belgrade Special Court.
The conflict between Saranovic and Bojovic started almost eight years ago when Slobodan’s brother Branislav Saranovic (66) was killed in October 2009. This crime has not been solved yet.
Slobodan marked the clan headed by Luka Bojovic as the originator of his brother’s murder.
Bojovic is in a Spanish prison where he is serving 18 year sentence for illicit possession of weapons and forgery of documents.
Spanish police suspected Bojovic of committing several murders in that country, but there was no evidence of his involvement.
