Prosecutors claim he was part of a group aiming to undermine political rivals, though the investigation is still ongoing.
The news arrives at a time when the IHF congress in Cairo, where the presidency will be decided, is just months away, and there is no doubt that Bošković’s legal troubles could reshape alliances as questions over transparency, integrity, and leadership now loom large.
The former Minister of Defense and high-ranking official of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) has been placed under supervisory measures, including the obligation to regularly report to the relevant authorities, according to Montenegrin media.
His lawyer, Mihailo Volkov, stated that Bošković has denied the charges.
The European Handball Federation (EHF) elected Boskovic as an Executive Committee (ExeC) Member in June 2012. Furthermore, he was elected as the EHF Vice President and IHF Council Member in November 2016.
