Imagine this – Montenegrin singer Jasna Šćepanović has been living a nightmare for two years! Her fight for custody of her five-year-old son has turned into a hellish saga. Her son was taken to Macedonia by her ex-husband, who, as if that wasn’t enough, forged her signature to get a passport for the child! Yes, you read that right – he forged her signature to obtain a Macedonian passport for a child born in Montenegro!
Jasna claims that the Montenegrin court ruled in her favor for custody, but Macedonian social services simply ignore this decision. The child is now with his father in Macedonia, who has temporary custody. Jasna hasn’t seen her son for two years and hasn’t heard from him for the last three months. Imagine the pain of a mother who carried her child for nine months, now fighting to bring him back home!
The situation escalated so much that Jasna spoke out publicly about her ordeal, including violence she suffered – the club owner allegedly hit her in the head! Jasna says she is forced to seek justice through the media because she sees no other way.
She tried to balance things and not leave scars on her son’s development, but now the situation is out of control. Her son even managed to contact her after months of silence, but that’s just another circle of agony. Jasna is fighting with all her might to annul the illegally issued passport and bring her child back where he belongs – Montenegro.
This story is a real drama and a wake-up call for all mothers fighting for their children across borders. The system that should protect children and parents sometimes only creates more problems. Jasna’s battle is far from over, and we will follow every step she takes.
