Thanks, I read there are 3700 documented organized criminals operating within Montenegro; outside of the country Montenegrin gangs are active throughout Europe, they have bases in Holland for decades. The gangs tend to specialize in cigarette smuggling, narcotics and arms trafficking.

Well Goran Savić was murdered in Amsterdam in October last year and Jovo Đurović was wounded , they were both close to Skaljarski clan. The reason for shooting is , one of top leaders of Kavacki clan , Radoje Zvicers cousin is living in Amsterdam and is pretty big in cocaine business ,Skaljarski clan sent a few guys pretending to be buyers and they gave money for 50 kilos of cocaine , but they actually followed him to safe house where they beat him up and stole him 100 kilos and all money. That caused the killing and shooting of Goran Savić and Jovo Đurović. Filip Korać was hiding in Amsterdam for some time and apparently he is/was protected by very powerful people from Amsterdam

Thanks it seems the port of Valencia, Spain is a key hub for groups from Serbia and Montenegro.

Spain is a key hub for every European crime group worth its salt lol

The police in Amsterdam arrested three men who allegedly helped prepare the liquidation of a Montenegrin criminal, Het Parool writes . The failed attack took place last October. Goran Savic (49) was killed instead of the Montenegrin Jovan Durovic. Durovic survived, with some gunshot wounds to the abdomen.

Goran Savic was the manager of pizzeria La Piccola Baracca at Hugo de Grootplein in Amsterdam-West. The trio of suspects reportedly told gunman Cherif A. (42) that Durovic was present that day, and also gave him a phone and a firearm. The description would also have been passed on. In the weeks before, the three would also have carried out observations.

Cherif A. was arrested the same day in a car on Admiraal de Ruijterweg, also in West. He was wearing striking clothing that resembles the gunman's clothing on surveillance footage. In the car was the murder weapon with its DNA. A. denies , saying that two others are the culprits.

Durovic is involved in a feud between different groups from Montenegro, the Škaljari and Kavač clans around the town of Kotor. Media speak of more than fifty deaths. Durovic is said to have been attacked again, which he survived.

There will be another pro forma hearing in the case next week.

Hey Strax I will follow this trial.

Are all three men arrested Dutch ? Or are there any from Balkans? Media here didn't report anything , very strange. Thanks for sharing this

The three are only identified as so called spotters who would have signaled the shooter. The three would also have made observations on Durovic in the weeks before. The investigation into the liquidation is still in full swing and more arrests are not ruled out.

Interior Minister: It will be either we or mafia in Serbia

Aleksandar Vulin, Serbia's Interior Minister, said on Tuesday the state was determined to deal with organised crime and mafia and confirmed President Aleksandar Vucic's statement about the link between some criminals and some country's institutions.

"Aleksandr Vucic never says anything by chance or without evidence. We have information about the link between mafia members and some circles within the authorities, some of whom have already been identified," Vulin said.

"In this country, mafia won't have its state – it's either we or mafia," he told the state RTS TV.

Vulin also said the police were tasked with fighting street crime, prevent the sale of drugs in schools, violence, pickpocketing and other crime which made people feeling unsafe.

Commenting on the latest killing in a Belgrade's shopping mall, Vulin said there was "no safe place when mafia wages war."

"We have two drug cartels – Kavacki and Skaljarski, possibly the most powerful in Europe, and the brutality in their show-downs resembles movies," he added.

They are literally the mafia , as i said already president Aleksandar Vucic's son was pictured multiple times with members of Kavacki cartel.

They really became big under Milosevic and your country is still dealing with aftermath of the yugoslav wars relations with EU for example have been difficult still.

One Montenegrin Dejan D. (29) the others have the dutch nationality Eyüp T. (35) was released this week. The two other suspects remain in custody.

Montenegro Police Arrest Kavač Clan Boss, Slobodan Kašćelan

The 42-year-old Cherif A. has been sentenced to 24 years in prison by the Amsterdam court for shooting pizzeria owner Goran Savic on October 23, 2019. Two "spotters", Denzel V. (23) and Dejan D. (30), are sentenced to 18 years in prison. A third spotter was acquitted.

The murder of the Amsterdam Serb Goran Savic, who was shot dead in his pizzeria on Hugo de Grootplein, was a mistake. The actual target was Jovan Durovic, who was seriously injured in the shooting. Innocent Savic was killed by being shot in the neck when he came to Durovic's aid. Durovic was a regular customer of the pizzeria.

Notorious Montenegrin criminal
Jovan Durovic is a notorious Montenegrin criminal who is embroiled in a bloody conflict between different groups from the former Yugoslavia. Durovic is part of the Serbian Zemun clan, including Luka Bojovic, who was convicted in Spain. Justice held that group responsible, among other things, for the murder in 2006 of the Amsterdam Montenegrin Srdjan “Sergio” Miranovic .

Dutch sentencing - like most of Europe - is quite light. These ppl would be really screwed in the USA.

Well that guy didn't go out quick and clean, that's for sure.

Yugoslav gangsters are among the most brutal in Europe, the Balkan war had a huge impact.

Interesting the pink panthers are now also linked to the Montenegro feud.

Ukraine Cops Implicated in Attempted Murder of Montenegrin Gangster

https://www.occrp.org/en/balkan-coc...attempted-murder-of-montenegrin-gangster

Pink panthers are part of it for some time now , a few of their leaders got killed by Velja , dismembered and thrown into river probably. They sided with losing side.

The Spanish police last week, in collaboration with the Guardia Civil, have dismantled a cocaine organization in the Canary Islands. The four suspects are members of the Skaljari clan, a notorious Montenegro crime group known for its brutality. One of them is said to be the leader of the Pink Panthers , an international organization of jewel thieves with roots in the Balkans.

The criminal network had set up a drug line in the Canary Islands with members who remained completely undercover. They stayed in luxury rental houses from which they distributed cocaine to local organizations. In November 2020, officers saw how members of the organization gave 250,000 and 155,000 euros in cash to third parties on different days to launder the amounts.

In the Netherlands, Montenegrins have also been prominent in international crime networks for decades. Montenegrins turned up in the case of the cocaine smuggling of Urk fishermen who picked up drugs at sea. Ranko Šćekić, who was liquidated in Utrecht in 2016, was a Montenegrin.

A feud over a batch of drugs between the Skaljari and Kavac clans of Montenegro has sparked deadly violence in several European countries since 2014. The assassination attempt in which restaurant owner Goran Savic died in Amsterdam in October 2019 is also associated with this feud. Savic was not the intended target, Jovan Djurovic was. He was seriously injured and is considered part of the Serbian Zemun clan.

Cocaine baron Darko Saric arrested and tried again
In Serbia, Darko Saric, who was convicted of large-scale cocaine trafficking, has been re-arrested and brought to trial in a new criminal case. He is now suspected of ordering a liquidation and again for large-scale smuggling of cocaine. In addition to Saric, a number of co-defendants in Belgrade, including his lawyer Dejan Lazarevic, are on trial.

5.7 tons of cocaine
International police organizations have been investigating Saric's network since 2009. He was himself arrested in 2014 and found guilty in Belgrade in 2018 of importing 5.7 tons of cocaine into Europe. He was jailed for 15 years. In 2020, his lawyers filed an appeal in cassation. And in 2021, his case was referred back to the Supreme Court on procedural grounds by the Supreme Court, a decision that sparked excitement in Serbia as openly questioned the integrity of a justice who previously served the case of a large cigarette smuggler, as it turned out on incorrect grounds. The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) counted this Stanko “Cane” Subotic as one of Darko Saric's business partners.

In 2020, Saric was also sentenced to nine years in prison for money laundering, but he was released again.

Ecuador
There is now a new case against Saric, and he was arrested this spring. He is said to have ordered the liquidation of a Serb in Ecuador. In January, Milan “Cigla” Milovac, 47, died in a hospital in Ecuador after being shot at. Saric is also said to have led a criminal organization that negotiated the purchase of cocaine for large-scale export to Europe between 2020 and April 14, 2022 in South America. Furthermore, Saric is suspected (among other things) with his lawyer that he has tried to influence and discredit witnesses with untrue statements.

According to the justice system, they also prepared false documents from the secret service that implied that the suspects worked for the secret service and should be left alone by the judiciary.

The evidence in the case comes from police cracked messages from the Sky ECC server. Saric would have liked to have been referred to by the alias Putin.

Several of the group's suspects are on the run.

Leader of the Škaljari clan, Jovan Vukotic , killed in Turkey

https://www.occrp.org/en/daily/16759-montenegrin-mafia-boss-killed-in-turkey

Škaljari are wiped , whole "ruling panel" killed in last 2 months , its well known that Kavaci are working with state. There are pictures of Kavaci member and presidents son etc

Hi my friend! It's amazing a few hundred of stolen kilos could led to such a violent war.

Started as a small brawl regarding few kilos but quickly turned into vendetta, they are even killing family members , but now it should slow down since Skaljari are literally no more , all big players in Belgrade also sided with Kavaci years ago.
