Montenegro Offers 500,000 Euros for Ljubo Milovic
Montenegro's Interior Ministry has posted a 500,000 euro reward for Ljubo Milovic, a former police officer tied to the Kavac clan, putting the total bounty on him and Zvicer at one million euros.
On August 24, 2026, Montenegro’s Ministry of Interior posted a 500,000 euro reward for information leading to Ljubo Milovic, a former police officer wanted by Interpol on a red international notice. It is the first time this bounty has been announced, and the decision draws Serbia into the picture as well: the Kavac clan, whose leadership Milovic is said to have belonged to, has spent years fighting turf wars whose trail runs through investigations on this side of the border too, so any move in Podgorica carries weight for the whole region.
Milovic is 43 and holds Montenegrin citizenship. A red Interpol notice against him is active in the organization’s system, meaning any member country can arrest him at Montenegro’s request and place him in extradition proceedings. The legal basis for the public reward is Article 92 of the Law on Internal Affairs, read together with Articles 236 and 238 of the Law on Obligations, and the decision was adopted by the ministry on a proposal from the director of the Police Directorate.
The Charges Against Him
In its statement, the ministry listed the criminal offenses Milovic is accused of: forming a criminal organization, attempted murder through aiding and abetting, smuggling, money laundering, unauthorized production, possession and trafficking of narcotics, causing general danger, and illegal possession of weapons and explosive materials.
When a Tip Is Considered Credible
The ministry laid out precise conditions under which a tip qualifies for payment. Its statement, carried by Tanjug and Portal Analitika, reads:
A report is considered credible if it cumulatively meets the conditions of containing accurate and verifiable information that allows the person to be located and apprehended, of directly contributing to the police’s operational activities, and of being decisive for a successful arrest.
In other words, three conditions must be met at once: the information must be accurate and verifiable, it must directly contribute to the police operation, and it must be decisive for the arrest itself. According to the statement, a report can only be submitted in person to the director of the Police Directorate, the deputy director, or the head of the Special Police Unit, with an appointment arranged in advance through three phone numbers:
- 020 241-964, director of the Police Directorate
- 020 245-020, deputy director in charge of combating crime
- 020 674-985, head of the Special Police Unit
The ministry, as reported by Espreso and Radio Television Niksic, placed particular emphasis on protecting whoever comes forward:
Information about the person who submits the report, including their identity, will be fully protected.
The reward cannot go to police officers or their family members, to people whose information the police already hold, or to anyone who took part in any way in the offenses Milovic is accused of. The final decision on paying out the reward rests with the Government of Montenegro, on a proposal from the Ministry of Interior, applying the principle of fairness.
One Million Euros for Two Top Clan Figures
This is not the first such offer from the ministry. The same sum of 500,000 euros was previously put up for Radoje Zvicer, a man investigators link to the top of the Kavac clan. With the new reward for Milovic, the total amount Podgorica is now offering for the two fugitives has climbed to one million euros.
According to media reports, Milovic is a former Montenegrin police officer. Decrypted communications from the Sky encrypted messaging app, analyzed earlier by investigators, reportedly show he was a close associate of Zvicer’s. The investigation, as reported in the media, alleges that Milovic used his position within the police to provide the clan with logistical and security support, ranging from information on members of the rival Skaljari clan to organizing cocaine shipments from South America to Europe.
Alongside the announcement of the reward, the Police Directorate called on citizens with relevant, verifiable information that could help locate and apprehend Milovic to submit it to the competent authorities through the proper channels.
