History
By the Law on Amendments to the Law on Public Prosecution (Official Gazette of the Republic of Montenegro No. 33 of November 12, 1977) for the territory of the Municipality of Rožaje, the Municipal Public Prosecutor's Office in Rožaje was established, which began operating on January 1, 1978.
Velija Murić was appointed as the first prosecutor, who held the position of prosecutor until July 2, 1983. After Murić, the duties of the prosecutor were taken over by Milenko Magdelinić on July 11, 1983, who held the position of prosecutor until December 31, 2009. The function of prosecutor - manager from April 20, 2010 to April 24, 2019 was held by Hajran Kalač.
Armin Selmanović, served as prosecutor and spokesperson of the prosecution from November 6, 2008 to January 14, 2021. He held the position of deputy manager from April 30, 2019 to January 14, 2021, after which he was appointed as a prosecutor in the Higher State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica.
Hajran Kalač, held the position of prosecutor from April 2, 2003. until April 20, 2010. He served as the head of the prosecution from April 20, 2010 to April 24, 2019. From April 24, 2019 to February 17, 2022, he served as a prosecutor, after which he retired.
Ivan Došljak, served as a prosecutor from July 15, 2015 to March 10, 2022, after which he was appointed president of the Basic Court in Berane.
From its foundation until today, this prosecution office has recorded outstanding work results, which is best evidenced by the regular annual reports and inspection reports on the work of the prosecution office. In addition, the prosecutor's office in Rožaje has become a kind of nursery for young staff who, over time, have grown into quality legal experts.
What makes the work of this prosecutor's office specific is the fact that it is located on the triple border of Montenegro, the Republic of Serbia and Kosovo, which makes the structure of the cases in its work heterogeneous in every sense. If we add to that the fact that there is a large diaspora in a large number of countries in Europe and the world from the area for which this prosecutor's office is responsible, the work of the prosecutor's office is accompanied by dealing with international elements in a large number of cases, in which part it has become a very good representative of Montenegrin legal conditions.
