Montenegrin police release photos of group from Serbia: Vučić supporters and people accused of violence

"Security risk" - this is how the Montenegrin Police described the group of around 90 men from Serbia, whom they banned from entering the country on June 3.

While the authorities in Serbia remain silent, Radio Free Europe, through facial recognition tools, has identified among them supporters of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party, as well as people accused of attacks on anti-government protesters.

Their photos have been published by the Montenegrin Police.

They were expelled from Tivat airport after arriving on a charter flight from Belgrade, on the eve of the European Union and Western Balkans summit being held in this coastal city.

According to announcements, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is also expected to arrive in Tivat, along with other senior officials from European countries and the region.

Montenegrin media have described the group from Serbia as "Vučić's informal security".

This has not been officially confirmed by the Montenegrin Police, but the expelled men – in addition to publishing their photographs – have described them as “persons of interest to security”, saying that they “have participated in numerous public gatherings with a high security risk”.

The police added that some of them "have been identified for criminal offenses and misdemeanors with elements of violence."

Authorities in Serbia have not responded to Radio Free Europe's questions about the deported men and their possible role in Montenegro.

As of the publication of this text, neither the Presidency of Serbia, nor the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, nor the Security and Information Agency have responded.

From the group coming from Serbia, the Montenegrin Police also seized a large banner with the inscription: "Serbia wins."

Naraçi and three other suspects for violent behavior are being tried at the High Court in Novi Sad, after on December 13, 2024, during a protest near the Futoška market in this city, they hit a citizen with a car and then beat him and another citizen of Novi Sad.

The detention order against them was lifted in April 2025.

The court then imposed a restraining order on Naraç, prohibiting him from leaving his apartment without electronic supervision. According to the court's decision, these measures could last three months.

In the photographs of the Montenegrin Police, REL has determined that Aleksandar Jankovic, known as "Aca Hari", is also present.

The photograph shows Jankovic at the tent camp in Belgrade, where supporters of the government gather, known as "Qacilend".

The non-governmental group "Most ostaje" published a video in September 2025, which, it said, shows its attack on activists who were removing a middle finger sign in Belgrade.

These banners were placed in response to protests and anti-government messages.

In an Instagram post, "Most ostaje" said that "Aca Hari" was responsible for guarding the red middle finger banner and that, during the attack on the two activists, one of them had his phone damaged.

Radio Free Europe has also identified Nenad Jaqimovski in photographs published by the Montenegrin Police.

Journalist and activist Ivan Bjelic has named Jacimovski as one of the attackers on local election day on March 29, when he and journalist Lazar Dinic were beaten in a village near Bor, in eastern Serbia.

After the attack, Bjelic wrote on the social network X that Jaqimovski was the owner of the car in which the masked attackers were.

He also said that Jaqimovski was responsible for destroying his journalistic equipment during the incident.

According to Bjelic, the authorities did not react to this attack.

Ognjen Ristivojevic is also in the Montenegrin Police photographs.

Students leading anti-government protests have named Ristivojevic as one of the people who, in February of this year, provoked and attacked their representatives during conversations with citizens at a stand in a village near Arangjelovc.

Slavisa Kamenović, known by the nickname "Kameni", was also on the plane, whose passengers were deported from Montenegro.

Kamenovic, according to images that can be found on social networks, previously stayed in "Qacilend".

As REL has established, Kamenović is employed at the public municipal enterprise in Obrenovc, near Belgrade.

His brother, Željko Kamenović, who says on social media that he lives in Italy, was also expelled from Montenegro with him.

One of the deportees is kickboxer Vukashin Vakirević.

With the help of facial recognition tools, REL identified him at a rally on the occasion of the opening of a school in Velika Drenova, near Trstenik, which was also attended by the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, in January of this year.

Igor Vjetrović, employed in the Municipality of Obrenovci, has also been deported from Montenegro, REL has found.

According to posts on social media, he was also seen at the tent camp of government supporters in Belgrade.

After the passengers of the plane that had arrived from Belgrade were stopped at Tivat airport, a list of their names appeared on social media, the authenticity of which REL was unable to confirm.

That list also includes the names of the people in the Montenegrin Police photographs, whom REL has identified.

Serbian opposition MP Marinika Tepic, based on that list, claims that Stefan Kojovic, one of the attackers of students in Novi Sad in January 2025, when a student's jaw was broken, was also on the flight.

All the attackers in this incident were later pardoned by decision of the President of Serbia.

What did the police seize from the group from Serbia?

In addition to banners with the political slogan "Serbia wins", Montenegrin police seized a remote communication device and a marine radio station from the group from Serbia, consisting of 87 men.

Two buses with Serbian license plates were also seized.

It is suspected that they were intended for transporting the group within Montenegro.

Those deported from Belgrade, according to Montenegrin media, arrived in Tivat on a charter flight of the Serbian national airline "Air Serbia" on June 3, in the early hours of the morning.

However, as of the publication of this text, the company has not responded to REL about who had hired it for this charter flight.

Montenegrin police also announced that extensive security checks are being carried out at the airport, to guarantee the smooth running of an important international event - the European Union and Western Balkans summit.

The plane with the deported group returned to Belgrade in the afternoon. As announced, they will be banned from entering and staying in Montenegro for the foreseeable future.

Without giving details, Montenegrin services also said they would oppose "any form of malicious action" and "attempts at destabilization."

They emphasized that they are continuing activities to uncover "the activities of criminal groups and individuals associated with them," as well as "their connections with foreign elements, which have the ultimate goal of undermining the stability of the state" and slowing down the path towards the European Union.

The authorities did not specify what malicious action was involved, nor what connections the criminal groups have with other countries.

The expulsion of Serbian citizens comes after recent tensions in Belgrade-Podgorica relations.

Aleksandar Vučić, faced with criticism from part of the public that police chiefs are connected to organized crime, accused Montenegro of "importing" drug gangs into Serbia.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro described these statements as politically irresponsible.

Who is participating in the Western Balkans – European Union summit?

The European Union - Western Balkans Summit will gather on June 5 in Tivat the leaders of the 27 EU member states and six countries in the region.

In addition to Montenegro, as the host country, the region will be represented at the summit by Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, and North Macedonia.

Participation, after talks with European officials, was also confirmed by the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, who had boycotted the last summit held in Brussels in December 2025.

Holding this year's summit in Montenegro has particular significance, as it is the only country in the region that currently has a credible prospect of EU membership.
