In the early hours of the morning, the officials of the Special Police Department arrested the former director of the Police Administration, Slavko Stojanovic.
Stojanovic was arrested by order of the Special State Prosecutor's Office, on suspicion of abuse of official position in connection with cigarette smuggling. In this operation, there are other people arrested and within the same SDT case.
The spokesman of the SDT, Vukas Radonjic, told News that by order of the SDT, the Special Police Department has taken away the freedom of Stojanovic and the IB, due to the suspicion that they have committed criminal offenses of abuse of official position and smuggling.
Stojanovic spent his entire working life in the police until his retirement and graduated from the police school in Kamenica, the College of Criminalistics in Zemun and later the Faculty of Security in Skopje. He has performed a number of police duties such as policeman, constable, traffic officer, shift leader and then other high positions in the uniformed composition of the UP.
With the arrival of Veselin Veljović in 2007 as the first director of the UP, Stojanović was promoted to assistant for the Sector of General Police Competencies, and then to advisor.
During his work in the police, Slavko Stojanovic was known as a close associate of the first arrested ex-policeman Veselin Veljovic.
In February 2013, Stojanovic was elected director of the Police Administration in a dubious competition, to the surprise of the security sector at the time, according to the media .
His tenure marked the beginning of the "war" of conflicting clans in Montenegro, when more than 40 people were killed in just five years. That dark period will also be remembered as the years in which numerous mafia liquidations remained unsolved.
He carried out the director's mandate in the shadows with rare public appearances, and insiders claimed that he was only formally the chief of police and that he bothered them a little while he was the head of the public police.
Stojanovic's mandate was also marked by the disruption of the Democratic Front protests in 2015, during which several cases of police brutality were recorded, the most drastic of which was the beating of Mijo Martinovic and the destruction of his car by a dozen members of the Unit Antiterrorist Special (SAJ). Due to these cases of police torture, Montenegro has for years received the attention of the European Commission and several decisions have been made before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
However, he resigned only at the end of March 2018, after Miloš Šaković and Radivoje Jovanović were killed in the center of Podgorica, an accidental victim of a mafia confrontation.
Then the resignation was explained "due to the deterioration of the security situation in the territory of Podgorica".
It didn't take long for what was long being prepared in the security system to return Veselin Veljovic, who was elected for a second term in July 2018. Two months after his return, there was no rest for the police either - Stojanovic was appointed to the post of the secretary of the National Security Council by the then prime minister Dushko Markovic at the beginning of September. He spent some time there, and then returned to the police, after which he retired in January 2021.
