Velibor Dzomic returning to Montenegro

New opinion from ANB was sent by official mail and it reached Ministry of internal affairs yesterday and it contains no elements that earlier presented Dzomic as a threat for the national security.

By this, the reasons because of which Dzomic couldn’t return to Montenegro ceased to exist. Let’s remind ourselves, as it was explained in February, police made the decision based on the opinion from the Agency for national security of Montenegro that Dzomic is a threat to national security.

Dzomic was, supposedly, one of the organizers of the protests during the recent visit by vice president of Kosovo’s government Hashim Thaci to Montenegro. He was also involved in organizing several earlier protests against decisions and policies of Montengrin authorities.

In the meantime, the court decided that Dzomic can stay in Montenegro, and then it denied the complaint by MUP on the decision to allow Velibor Dzomic a temporary residence in Montenegro.

On 12th of February, the court, while deciding on the complaint by MUP, granted permission to the bishop to temporarily, while the process ends, stay in Montenegro. Judge Gordana Pot, in support of her decision, wrote that by staying outside of Montenegro the bishop “would have his right for court protection become meaningless, in terms of the article 6 of the Convention (right to just and public debate)”. She emphasized that sending him out of Montenegro before the court process ends would also “cause big and harmful consequences” to him.

It is expected that Ministry of internal affairs will have nothing against Podgorica’s bishop return to Montenegro, because even minister Rasko Konjevic, on multiple occasions, said that Dzomic doesn’t have a problem with MUP.
