Police Shake-Up or Total Chaos? Šćepanović Replaces Chiefs in Four Montenegrin Towns!
Montenegro is witnessing a real police earthquake! Lazar Šćepanović, acting director of the Police Administration, has decided not to hold back on personnel changes in the security departments of Danilovgrad, Kolašin, Žabljak, and Budva. Is this a bold move towards professionalization or just another chaotic step in Montenegrin policing?
Who’s Out and Who’s In?
The head of the Danilovgrad Security Department is now Dragoljub Vujović, a graduate police officer from the Belgrade Academy, who previously led operations in Budva. In Kolašin, Ivan Raičević replaces Zoran Braunović; Raičević is also a graduate officer with extensive leadership experience, including in Cetinje and Podgorica.
Žabljak’s new chief is Tadija Ćetković, a national security expert with higher education and experience in special police units. Budva is now led by Vesko Nedović, a veteran of criminal police with experience fighting serious crimes.
What Does This Mean for Citizens?
Šćepanović claims these changes are part of a broader strategy to strengthen professional standards and public trust in the police. But can citizens really expect better results, or is this just cosmetic reshuffling? In a country where the police are often questioned for corruption and inefficiency, every change sparks suspicion and fear of further loss of trust.
Retirements and New Blood
At the Regional Border Police Center, Branislav Knežević replaces Petar Šestović, who retired. Knežević is a legal sciences specialist with years of experience fighting cross-border crime and corruption. This could signal a serious approach to problems, but questions remain about how effective this change will be in practice.
The Beginning of the End for Old Structures?
The Police Administration promises to continue activities aimed at strengthening the integrity of every police officer. However, public criticism of the police persists, and many wonder if these moves are enough to break the old system and bring real reform.
Conclusion: Heroes or Puppets?
While Šćepanović praises the new personnel and their qualifications, citizens and analysts remain skeptical. Will these people truly change the face of Montenegrin policing, or will this be just another episode in a long series of changes that change nothing? One thing is certain — watch closely, because this is not just a reshuffle, but a potential turning point in Montenegro’s security policy.
