In a previous statement, he accused the two of being involved in the affair of the same name since 2016, and admitted that he did everything on the orders of prosecutors Milivoje Katnić and Sasa Čadjenović.
Mandic and Kezevic said at the press conference that Katnic and Cadjenovic were the “editors” of the “coup” affair.
Mandic said that in the amended statement, Velimirovic admitted that there were no weapons and that he counted everything according to the prosecutor’s directive.
“Now, the prosecutor Sasa Cadjenovic should end up in prison, where he placed his cousin Mihail Cadjenovic, who was imprisoned for months in the justice of God,” Mandic told reporters.
Milan Knezevic said that Mirko Velimirovic’s statement had already been sent by the Serbian Organized Crime Prosecutor’s Office to his colleagues in Montenegro, the Podgorica CdM portal reported.
“He (Velimirović) admitted that he was under pressure, that his family was burned, that he falsely accused the DF leaders. Velimirović admitted that everything was edited and that prosecutors forced him to say something. He admitted that he did everything according to Katnić’s instructions, “Knezevic said.
He asked Katnić not to conceal this evidence and to forward it immediately to the Court of Appeal.
“We ask Ivica Stanković to finally initiate a process against Milivoj Katnić,” Knezević said.
Mandic also said they hoped that after the Appeals Court panel’s election, the serious charges against them in the mounted trial and verdicts would be dismissed, and responsibility would be transferred to Katnić and Čadjenović.
“Those publishers and those murderers of human destinies and the changes in the situation Montenegro found itself in must, sooner or later, face justice,” Mandic said.
Knezevic and Mandic were each sentenced to five years in prison for allegedly participating in an attempted coup on Election Day four years ago.
Appeals against these verdicts are being considered.
