Miloš Pavlović, vice president of the National Movement of Serbia, was stopped on the Užice-Zlatibor road because he was using a mobile phone while driving, the MUP announced. Previously, the National Movement of Serbia announced that the vice-president of the National Movement of Serbia, Miloš Pavlović, was arrested this morning in Užice.
"During the control, it was established that a search warrant was issued for him by the PU for the city of Belgrade, which is why he was brought to the official premises of the PU in Užice, where he was served with an invitation to report to the PU for the city of Belgrade on the first working day, after which he left premises of the police administration", stated the MUP.
As they pointed out, he was issued a misdemeanor warrant for using a mobile phone while driving.
"The Ministry of the Interior appeals to everyone not to abuse the police for political purposes and present incorrect information," the Ministry of Internal Affairs stated, specifying that the same procedure was applied to Pavlović as it would be to any citizen.
The People's Movement of Serbia announced today that the vice-president of the People's Movement of Serbia, the head of the NPS committee group in the Belgrade City Assembly and lawyer Miloš Pavlović were arrested in the vicinity of Užice on the way to Zlatibor.
"He was in the car with his family at the time," the People's Movement of Serbia announced.
As stated in the announcement, the traffic policemen, who stopped him, informed him that a warrant had been issued for him, allegedly, because of the protest against election theft that took place on December 24 in front of the city hall in Belgrade.
"Although Pavlovic has been in Belgrade every day since the protests and, as a lawyer by the nature of his work in the courts, the police sneakily arrest him in front of his family under the pretext that they could not find him until now. We can conclude that all this is part of the intimidation plan by the usurping and violent regime before the constituent session of the Belgrade City Assembly, which is scheduled for Monday, February 19, and that they will stop at nothing in the fight against the opposition," the announcement states.
The President of the National Movement of Serbia and MP Miroslav Aleksić says that every member of the institutions of Serbia who protects the usurping regime of Aleksandar Vučić against the law and by abusing his position will be held accountable and that everyone should be aware of that.
"It is interesting but at the same time shocking that Miloš Pavlović is arrested with handcuffs on his way to a family vacation just because he is one of the most active members of the opposition in Belgrade and because he is the vice-president of the opposition party, while at the same time criminals and tycoons close to the regime are walking unhindered around Serbia, regardless of whether they participate in organized crime or sell drugs to our children, like Milan Radoičić, Zvonk Veselinović or Predrag Koluvija," said Aleksić.
