Podgorica, (MINA) – The Law on Confiscation of Criminal Assets is expected to be completed in the third quarter of this year, said Minister of Justice Bojan Bozovic, emphasizing that this department is developing a judicial vetting model, approved by both domestic and international legal experts.

He said that during the session of the National Security Council on Wednesday, several important topics for strengthening the rule of law were discussed, especially the issues of vetting in the judiciary and the Law on Confiscation of Criminal Assets.
