Podgorica High Court judicial rulings

Overview

The High Court in Podgorica has issued several rulings involving acquittals and the halting of criminal proceedings due to insufficient evidence.

In one instance, former Railway Infrastructure of Montenegro executive director Milan Čolaković was acquitted of charges regarding the payment of 331,096 euros to former workers, as the court found the payments were authorized by the Board of Directors. Additionally, former Eko-fond director Jovan Martinović and employee Andrej Nedović were acquitted in a case involving the alleged improper allocation of emission credits to the company ‘Uniprom’ after the court found insufficient evidence regarding benefits exceeding 20 million euros.

Subsequent judicial reviews led the court to halt further proceedings against several individuals, including Aleksandar Mijajlović and Predrag Bošković, citing a lack of evidence to establish reasonable suspicion. Legal observers noted these decisions reflect a rigorous judicial approach to verifying evidence, particularly in cases where defendants had previously undergone months of detention under public scrutiny.
