Kosmajac in Montenegro as tourist

PODGORICA - Just hours after being identified by Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic as Serbia's biggest drug dealer, Dragoslav Kosmajac, 61, crossed into Montenegro at the Rance border crossing in the night between Friday and Saturday after leaving Serbia at the Jabuka crossing, the Podgorica Vijesti daily reports.

According to reports in some Montenegrin media, he has been located in Herceg Novi.

Vijesti's sources say that Kosmajac owns a luxurious villa in Risan's Strp district that, as some say, has been a gathering place over the past years for many people with criminal records in 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 and defendants in the Zemun clan trials as the person from whom members of the criminal clan obtained drugs.

He is alleged to have ties with international narcotics smugglers, and has channels for smuggling...
