Outgoing Prime Minister Dritan Abazović, political parties, and NGOs called on the Special State Prosecution on Tuesday to investigate the allege links between Do Kwon and Milojko Spajić.

“It’s not good for Montenegro if Spajic had contacts with Do Kwon, because the man is wanted by the US and South Korean authorities. We cannot become a breeding ground for global fraudsters, even if they use blockchain or anything else.”

Spajić denied these claims and said he informed about Do Kwon’s presence in the country to Minister of Interior Filip Adzic. However, Prime Minister Dritan Abazović says it’s not true.
