Socialist People’s Party (SNP) condemns the decision of the Montenegrin judiciary to sentence the Democratic Front (DF) MP Milan Knezevic to seven months in prison for attacking police officer Miljan Markovic in front of the Parliament building in 2015.
As SNP stated, the party is obliged to do so in spite of recent unfounded DF’s attacks against it.
SNP asks “what kind of state committed to the rule of law is this if the DPS Political Council chairman Svetozar Marovic was sentenced to the minimum prison sentence and concluded various agreements, although the entire public knows that he cost the state millions of euros”.
“Our political differences with DF do not prevent us from pursuing fair treatment in court processes and pointing to political bias. Also, we would like to point out that those who have committed the crime and beat up Mijo Martinovic are free today, whereas the opposition MPs are being satinised in various ways,” the party said.
