Bosniak civil society organizations filed a criminal complaint with the Rožaje Basic State Prosecutor's Office against Montenegrin MP Milan Knežević and Budimlja-Nikšić Metropolitan Metodije. The two individuals were targeted due to their laudatory statements made after the death of former Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladic.

Knežević had shared a photo of Mladic with the message "Glory is eternal, pain is short. There is a Ratko in every Serb home." Metropolitan Metodije used terms such as "giant," "great Serb," "person worthy of respect" for Mladic and likened him to holy Serb warriors.

The complaint emphasized that Mladic was a convicted war criminal sentenced for the Srebrenica genocide and other crimes against humanity. The organizations stated that Srebrenica is not a matter of political commentary, that the genocide is a court-established fact, and requested an investigation into whether the statements constitute a crime under Article 370.
