Montenegrin police have banned entry into the country to a group of at least 90 people from Serbia, who arrived in Tivat on Wednesday on a charter flight from Belgrade. According to Montenegrin media, the reason for this extraordinary measure is suspicion of subversive activities ahead of the EU-Western Balkans summit, which is being held on Thursday and Friday on the Montenegrin coast. As the Vijesti.me portal writes, among the passengers there were also people registered as "persons of interest to security", so the decision was made for everyone to return on the first flight from Tivat to Belgrade. According to the same source, the passengers refused to answer police questions regarding the reason for their arrival in Montenegro. The suspects had taken with them on the plane banners with the inscription "Serbia wins", the slogan of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, a remote communication device and a marine radio station, according to the official announcement of the Police Directorate (UP) and the National Security Agency (ANB). Data in the possession of the Montenegrin Police Directorate shows that the people on this flight, most of whom have criminal records, were tasked with informally securing the presence of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić during the upcoming summit in Tivat. The Montenegrin police have announced that extensive, continuous and increased security activities are being carried out due to the organization of the EU-Western Balkans summit. In this context, rigorous controls are being carried out at the Tivat Airport border crossing, and the charter flight on the Belgrade-Tivat route has also been placed under special control, the media write. "Checks are being carried out on these persons and the reasons for their arrival and stay are being verified. In accordance with the law, all necessary measures and actions will be taken, as well as restrictive measures if there are legal grounds for them. The plane has been held on the runway of Tivat Airport to carry out detailed verifications of the persons who have arrived and the purpose of their visit, taking into account the increased security measures before the summit. The public will be informed in due time about further actions," the Montenegrin Police statement said. Montenegrin media had previously reported that more than 1,500 police officers from all organizational police units, including special tactical units, will be engaged in security for the summit to be held on June 4 and 5 in Tivat. /Telegraph/
