In the case of filing an anonymous criminal report, this possibility of notification does not exist, but this in no way diminishes the obligation of the state prosecutor to collect all evidence, carry out all actions and evaluate the evidence as in any other case, therefore, as well as when the applicant of the criminal report is known - explained the head of BSPO Bijelo Polje.The aim of the program "Meet the Prosecutor's Office", which was produced with the support of the OSCE Mission in Montenegro, is to bring the work and procedures of the State Prosecutor's Organization closer to citizens.You can watch the show on the attached link.
