Montenegro Trial: Murder and Attack Case Faces Statute of Limitations Threat

Podgorica, Montenegro – The trial for the murder of Miodraga Kruščić and the wounding of journalist Olivera Lakić began after numerous delays and a change of judicial council. The accused are alleged members of the Kavčani criminal group. Olivera Lakić's lawyer, Dalibor Tomović, expressed concern about the possibility of the case being dismissed due to the statute of limitations, stating, "We expressed our apprehension that the statute of limitations would apply." The video shows footage of the court proceedings and interviews with Tomović, providing a comprehensive account of the event. The trial's continuation is uncertain due to the arrest of one of the accused in Sofia, Bulgaria. The case highlights the ongoing challenges in prosecuting organized crime in Montenegro.
