The Serbian Security Information Agency (BIA) advised Vučić against traveling to Montenegro for the European Political Community Summit. The agency cited intelligence indicating the presence of Radoje Zvicer, the leader of the Kavački clan, in Montenegro, and warned of high security risks from foreign services and criminal organizations.

Vučić addressed the warning on his Instagram account, stating, "I am not afraid, nor am I fascinated by threats. The only thing I worry about is how to make our people live better and how to make Serbia even more successful." His statement came after the BIA released its advisory, detailing concerns about "hostile activities of foreign services and criminal clans in Montenegro."

Due to reasons of the highest importance for the tasks entrusted to the Security Information Agency, we announce that it is necessary to state that due to the hostile activities of foreign services and criminal clans in Montenegro, the Security Information Agency has officially advised the President of the Republic of Serbia not to travel to Montenegro, as a high security risk has been established.

The summit in Tivat is a significant political gathering for European leaders. Montenegro's Ministry of Foreign Affairs assured that all efforts would be made to host guests at the highest level, while local police have raised security measures to the maximum. This situation follows a separate incident where a plane carrying Serbian citizens was returned from Tivat to Belgrade due to security checks, with authorities reporting the passengers had banners and communication devices.

According to our operational knowledge, Radoje Zvicer, the leader of the Kavački clan, is in Montenegro.
