Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic says he has done nothing illegal when he founded the company outside of Montenegro in 2012 and calls on the Prosecutor’s Office to investigate the whole case. He points out that neither he nor his son Blazo has ever done and “we will certainly not do anything to the detriment of the state of Montenegro”, unlike those who are trying to launch an affair and who, as he emphasizes, are trying to nail him to the pillar of shame without argument.
In Slovenia, where the European Union-Western Balkans Summit is being held, he has responded to the allegations of international researchers about the Pandora Papers case.
“I would not have anything new to add to that topic, in relation to what I said to the team of investigative journalists, which dealt with that topic, and what my Cabinet announced after this, another in a series of affairs, was launched. In my opinion, this is another construction, another contrived affair, which should serve domestic political needs and which will surely, very quickly, lead to the collapse of the authority of its authors and which will lead to their complete disgrace”, President Djukanovic has said in Kranj.
He has stressed that he does not link his legal actions to state positions.
President Djukanovic also points out that he has showed his attitude towards the state in “years of fighting for it and building institutions”.
“When I would get rid of state positions, which I tried many times and strongly wanted, I did not ask the state to extend my right to any salary, but when I left office I concluded my employment with the state, and I took care to provide my existence. Those who have not earned a single cent in their lives, have no right to suggest what I should do and how I should behave”, President Djukanovic has stressed.
