Two state officials in Montenegro have resigned from their positions in the wake of the scandal. Both cited “personal reasons” for stepping down. For a month now, Montenegro has been shaken by the “explicit footage” affair, allegedly involving the pair of Dejan Vukšić and Mirjana Pajković.
Dejan Vukšić who is married, and the strikingly beautiful Pajković submitted their resignations after intimate content went viral, accompanied by numerous mutual accusations, criminal complaints, and even threats made from a phone in the office of the President of Montenegro, Jakov Milatović.

Mirjana Pajković, submitted her resignation on Friday from the position of State Secretary at the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights after recordings containing explicit sexual content between her and Vukšić went viral. She filed three criminal complaints against Vukšić, alleging he leaked the material

Vukšić is the former director of the National Security Agency [ANB], and a former adviser to President Milatović, and he resigned from his post at the end of 2025, after Pajković filed criminal complaints against him.
The complainant, Mirjana Pajković, submitted her resignation on Friday from the position of State Secretary at the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights after recordings containing explicit sexual content went viral.
Vukšić issued a statement denying involvement in the leak of explicit recordings on the internet.
“I reject all inaccurate, incomplete, and tendentious allegations by which, without evidence, responsibility is being attributed to me for the violation of M. P.’s privacy and the distribution of the disputed recordings. I saw that content for the first time only when it began to circulate illegally on social networks,” Vukšić stated.

Vukšić claims that Pajković “misappropriated” his mobile phone in October 2024
As he stated, in October 2024 Pajković “unlawfully misappropriated my mobile phone, which was subsequently abused,” thereby “grossly violating my privacy.”
Vukšić claims that this led to the disputed audio recording in which his voice can be heard threatening Mirjana Pajković, allegedly from a telephone in the office of the President of Montenegro.
“Competent authorities possess information about that event. The words I addressed to M. P. on that occasion, which were selectively published with a time delay of one year and three months, were an immediate reaction to the theft and abuse of my phone,” Vukšić stated, among other things, adding that there is a conscious “attempt to substitute theses” in which he, “as the injured party,” is being “presented as the perpetrator of a criminal offense.”
“In March 2025, I received a disturbing message”
As he says, in March 2025, from an unknown number, he received “disturbing messages” containing the mentioned audio recording with his voice, along with a clear threat and an attempt at blackmail to “withdraw from the candidacy for a judge of the Constitutional Court,” which, as he said, he understood as a message that the audio recording would be published if he did not follow the “instructions.”
“I believe that M. P., in this way, directly or indirectly, alone or through persons to whom she enabled access to the content from her phone, attempted to exert undue influence on the process of electing a judge of the Constitutional Court. On that occasion, I filed a report with the Police Directorate against M. P. and unknown persons for attempted extortion, theft, and abuse of a phone, after which M. P. was questioned,” Vukšić said.
He added that afterward Pajković “contacted him by phone,” stating that he needed to “do something for her,” that is, to “redeem himself,” which he sees as an attempt to put his influence “into the function of her nomination for the position of Ombudsman and another attempt at blackmail.” As he says, he refused that meeting.

At the end of December 2025, Pajković filed criminal a series of complaints with police, against the security boss.
Vukšić further alleges that at the end of December 2025, M. P. filed a complaint against him, submitting the same audio recording and “creating a false impression that it was a recent event, concealing the fact that the event occurred more than a year earlier and that she had already been questioned regarding the same audio recording for attempted extortion.”
“In January 2026, I submitted additional material evidence to the Police Directorate, then filed a complaint against M. P. for false reporting related to the distribution of disputed photographs and video recordings on social networks, and insisted on polygraph testing,” Vukšić said, among other things.
Complaint also announced against an MP in the Parliament of Montenegro
He announced that, “in order to protect personal integrity and the safety of his family,” he would file complaints and initiate proceedings against all persons who, as he says, falsely accused him via social networks, issued threats, insults, and calls for lynching.
He added that he would also file a complaint against a “member of the Parliament of Montenegro” who publicly labeled him a “violent person.”
“The truth in this case will not be established on social networks or in the media, but exclusively before the competent institutions. I am ready for such an outcome and insist on it,” Vukšić concluded.
Pajković filed three criminal complaints before resigning
Before submitting her resignation, Pajković filed three criminal complaints with the police for the unauthorized distribution of explicit content, a photograph featuring her image.
According to the complaint, she suspects that the former director of the National Security Agency (ANB), Dejan Vukšić, aware of the illegality, attempted to use information he obtained by virtue of the position he held, that he threatened with such material, and that he indirectly spoke about the existence of compromising material in one television show.
She released a recording of Vukšić allegedly threatening her

In one of the audio recordings that Pajković publicly released, Vukšić can allegedly be heard threatening that “the whole of Montenegro will see” compromising photographs and recordings of the former public official.
The ANB has denied any official involvement in this incident, stating “The Agency lawfully performs tasks within its jurisdiction and fully respects constitutionally guaranteed rights. Private correspondence and content that are the subject of comments are not of interest to the Agency and, as such, cannot be linked to the ANB.”
Going public with her story, Pajković encouraged “every woman” to reject the notion that they must remain silent when someone attacks them, the outlet reported.
“When I myself was exposed to the extreme violence that I posted on social networks, where the first person next to the president of the country, the first former person of the National Security Agency, very persistently and at length during the entire conversation told me that there would be no place for me and no life in Montenegro,” she said, claiming Milatović failed to act in the scandal.

“When someone is blackmailing you. Someone more powerful will ask you for a favor, some behavior that you do not want at that moment, and if you refuse to do it, you will be handed over to someone who is the embodiment of the highest state authority. No one will physically hit you, this is the 21st century” – Pajković wrote

Pajković said her departure was due to personal reasons — but took several swipes at Vukšić, accusing him of threatening her with the tape to remain quiet.
“That my boss would see something that compromised me, where he clearly and directly threatened me that he had compromising material for me, why did I keep quiet at that moment?” Pajković said, according to the outlet. “He told me this personally after I refused to act the way he asked me.”
Pajković said she was unaware of the footage Vukšić was allegedly blackmailing her with but feared he would harm her because he was in a top role in the security sector.
“For example, when someone is blackmailing you. Someone more powerful will ask you for a favor, some behavior that you do not want at that moment, and if you refuse to do it, you will be handed over to someone who is the embodiment of the highest state authority. No one will physically hit you, this is the 21st century, but they very clearly want to destroy your life on all grounds,” she wrote.
Conviction for revenge pornography in Montenegro can attract a sentence of up to five years in prison, but it remains to be seen whether this case will receive a judicial epilogue, as the Prosecutor’s Office is yet comment on the matter.
