"Biggest drug dealer" is in Montenegro "as tourist" - report

PODGORICA -- Just hours after being identified by Aleksandar Vučić as "Serbia's biggest drug dealer" Dragoslav Kosmajac crossed into Montenegro at the Ranče border crossing.

This is according to a report in the Podgorica-based daily Vijesti, which also specified that the 61-year-old arrived in Montenegro during the night between Friday and Saturday, after leaving Serbia via the Jabuka crossing.

Tanjug quoted reports in some Montenegrin media who said Kosmajac "has been located in Herceg Novi."

Vijesti's sources said that Kosmajac owns a luxurious villa in Risan which, "according to information from well-informed sources," has been a gathering place over the past years for many people with criminal records from Serbia and Montenegro.

A source in the police administration said that no international arrest warrant has been issued against Kosmajac.

"No arrest warrant has been issued by the Interpol office in Serbia or any other country, and he entered Montenegrin territory in a completely legal manner. Had a local arrest warrant been issued against him in Serbia, officers at the border crossing there would have reacted," the source said.

The source could neither confirm, nor refute the allegations that Kosmajac entered Montenegrin territory with a Slovakian passport.

"Just like any other tourist who crossed the border that night, he had documentation that was completely in order," the source said.

The 2001 white paper of the Serbian Ministry of Interior identified Kosmajac as one of the major narcotics traders.

Serbian media have reported that he has also been named by protected witnesses...
