Bottom Line Up Front. The Kavač and Škaljari clans both come from Kotor on Montenegro's Adriatic coast and were once one group smuggling cocaine from South America into Europe, per OCCRP. They split in 2014 after the Škaljari found about 200 kg of cocaine in a Valencia warehouse; the Kavač admitted it was theirs and offered to pay, but the Škaljari refused and violence followed. OCCRP verified at least 41 likely deaths from 2015 to its May 2020 reporting, with killings in Montenegro, Serbia, Spain, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Greece. On July 24, 2026, a Podgorica court sentenced Kavač leader Radoje Zvicer in absentia to 40 years for aggravated murder and drug trafficking offenses, per OCCRP; Škaljari leader Jovan Vukotić was shot dead in Istanbul in 2022. Neither clan is an FTO and no terror link is sourced.
What We Could Not Source. The detailed structure, current leadership and force strength after 2022, and current financial totals were not found in sources we could verify. Our feud tally relies on OCCRP's May 2020 count and needs a 2026 refresh. Treated as DATA DEFICIT.
