Montenegrin authorities have carried out several cross-border police operations, extraditing and arresting suspects linked to organized crime and murder cases.

Montenegrin law enforcement authorities have executed a series of targeted police operations and cross-border extraditions involving high-profile criminal suspects across the region.

At the Dobrakovo border crossing, Serbian authorities extradited a suspect identified as Kilibarda to Montenegro. A reported member of an organized crime group who was arrested in Belgrade last July, Kilibarda faces charges linked to murders in Bar and Spuž.

In a separate operation, Montenegrin police deported Serbian citizen S.V. back to Serbia. The convicted murderer, who entered Montenegro illegally, was apprehended in Podgorica under suspicion of planning a serious crime.

Additionally, police in Nikšić arrested North Macedonian citizen Andrej Tanaskovski over the attempted murder of Budva resident Marko Ljubiša. A local resident was also detained for allegedly assisting Tanaskovski while in hiding.
