Raška Officials Deny Presence on Charter Flight to Tivat

Ilija Roglić, assistant to the president of the municipality of Raška, and Predrag Penjišević, an employee of the Health Center, have refuted claims that they were passengers on a charter flight from Belgrade to Tivat. Regional media had reported that the flight, which Montenegrin authorities stated carried "persons of security interest," included these two individuals. Both Roglić and Penjišević issued brief statements denying their presence on the flight and any involvement in the matter. Roglić expressed regret over the publication of inaccurate and unverified information, calling it a serious oversight with potential consequences for individual reputations. He urged the public to rely on verifiable facts rather than speculations that harm individuals and their families. Montenegrin security services reported expelling 87 men from the charter flight, operated by Air Serbia, citing them as a threat to national security. These individuals had reportedly attended numerous high-risk public gatherings, and some were known to law enforcement for offenses involving violence. Serbian media, opposition politicians, and activists have identified many of the passengers as allegedly being associated with the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and President Aleksandar Vučić's administration, linking them to past incidents such as breaking up student protests and disturbances at sporting events.

With great regret, I note that inaccurate and unverified information has been published, which is a serious oversight that can have significant consequences for the reputation and integrity of individuals.
