Excerpt from report by Montenegrin Mina news agency

Podgorica, 28 January: The Montenegrin police administration announced today that it had stepped up security protection of special prosecutor for organized crime Stojanka Radovic because there are reports that she might be threatened from the Kosovo Liberation Army [KLA].

Radovic had pressed charges against a group of Albanians who planned to commit act of terrorism in Montenegro.

The police administration said that "in the course of January it received a report from a foreign intelligence agency that Radovic's safety might be threatened by the so-called KLA because of her professional engagement in the Eagle's Flight police operation and the processing of the case before the relevant court".

"In this connection, the police administration stepped up security protection of the special prosecutor," says a statement.

The Montenegrin police said that such measures - in line with a decision made by the Montenegrin government - were taken also to provide security protection for Chief State Prosecutor Vesna Medenica and President of the Montenegrin Supreme Court Ratko Vukotic.

The police administration announced that, in order to implement these tasks professionally, it has been intensively cooperating with the relevant factors within the security sector and with security structures in the region.
