Zoran Braunović, the head of the security department in Kolašin, Montenegro, has submitted a request to the parliamentary inquiry committee to share his knowledge about illegal activities and actions of the so-called Black Troikas, violent squads allegedly active during the rule of the DPS party. Braunović is ready to testify about political assassinations, attacks on journalists and intellectuals, but will reveal details exclusively before the inquiry committee. He emphasizes that he has worked honorably and professionally throughout his career and is prepared to refute anonymous criminal complaints filed against him. The inquiry committee chairman confirmed receipt of the request and stated that a decision on the hearing will be made. The topic of the Black Troikas draws public attention and highlights the need to expose abuses by state institutions in Montenegro.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning reports emphasize the systemic abuse of power by state institutions during the DPS rule, highlighting the need for transparency and justice for victims of political violence. They focus on Braunović’s willingness to expose these abuses and criticize the previous regime’s impunity.
Center: Centrist coverage tends to present the facts of Braunović’s request and readiness to testify, maintaining a neutral tone. It highlights the procedural aspects of the inquiry and the importance of due process, without strong political bias.
Right: Right-leaning narratives may focus on the alleged corruption and criminal activities of the DPS regime, using Braunović’s testimony as evidence of the regime’s wrongdoing. They may also emphasize the need to reform state institutions and hold former officials accountable.
