Serbia, Montenegro police to work together amid strained relations
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 25 - 02 - 2010


Serbian and Montenegrin justice ministers
promised today to work together in the future, after a bungled
search for criminal figures had strained the already strained ties
of the two former Yugoslav republics, according to dpa.
The ministers, Serbia's Snezana Malovic and Montenegro's Miras
Radovic, met in Belgrade to discuss the case of Darko and Dusko
Saric, suspected drug lords and Serbian nationals who slipped
away because police in the two countries did not work together.
"Problems in extending international legal assistance will be
overcome with a more efficient communication of the state
prosecution," Belgrade said in a statement after the meeting.
Belgrade had accused authorities in Podgorica of sheltering
organized crime bosses when it surfaced that the two Serb brothers
recently took Montenegrin citizenship under murky circumstances.
The dual citizenship at least provisionally protected the brothers
from arrest, as virtually all former Yugoslav republics prohibit the
extradition of nationals to third countries for prosecution.
Montenegrin security services investigated the procedure to give
the brothers citizenship.
A security committee eventually admitted that the brothers got
their passports even though police were aware that they were
suspected heads of a criminal organization.
The Saric brothers came into the limelight in October, when they
were linked to a foiled effort to transport two tons of cocaine from
Uruguay. They subsequently went into hiding.
Relations between Serbia and Montenegro have been strained for
other reasons, including Montenegro's recognition and opening of
diplomatic ties to Kosovo, the former Serbian province.
