The arrests, which took place recently, are part of an ongoing investigation into a criminal organization suspected of smuggling cigarettes through the port of Bar. The investigation reveals a sophisticated operation spanning from 2020 to 2021.

"The arrests send a clear message that we will not tolerate such criminal activity." The investigation is ongoing, and further arrests are expected. The successful apprehension of Golubovic and his associates marks a significant step in combating organized crime in Montenegro.
