(ANSA-AFP) – TIVAT, JUN 4 – Montenegro police said they had
turned back a plane filled with suspected Serbian govenment
supporters on Wednesday, as authorities promised to crack down
on “destabilisation” ahead of an EU-Western Balkans summit.
Police in the port town of Tivat, which is to host a meeting
between European and Western Balkan leaders on Friday, said they
had refused entry to around 90 men who “would represent a risk
to internal and national security” after they landed on a flight
from Belgrade. Police had found a maritime radio device, a
banner bearing the slogan of Serbia’s ruling party and evidence
that several of the men were known to attend pro-government
rallies and events in Belgrade. “These are persons who attended
numerous public gatherings of high security risk,” Montenegro’s
police directorate and national security agency said in a joint
statement. According to the statement, some of the men had
violent criminal pasts. (ANSA-AFP).
