The Process

1. Urgent Legal Assessment & Protection Measures

Upon initial contact, we immediately assess the extradition request or Interpol Red Notice. We identify legal risks, human rights concerns, and any political elements. Urgent motions can be filed to prevent immediate detention or restrictive measures.

2. Strategic Defense Planning

We develop a tailored legal strategy, collecting evidence, preparing objections to extradition, and identifying legal flaws in the request. This stage includes cooperation with international experts if necessary and preparing arguments for court.

3. Court Proceedings in Montenegro

We represent you before Montenegrin courts, presenting legal and factual objections against extradition. This includes hearings, appeals, and all procedural protections under Montenegrin and international law.

4. International Remedies & Interpol Actions

If applicable, we engage international legal bodies and Interpol. This includes filing requests to cancel or suspend Red Notices, addressing the Ministry of Justice, and utilizing human rights mechanisms to strengthen your defense.

5. Asylum & Long-Term Protection

If there is a serious risk of political persecution or human rights abuse, we initiate asylum procedures as an additional safeguard. We remain involved until your legal status is fully secured and the risk of extradition is eliminated.
