Andrije Mandić faces criminal complaint over Ratko Mladić condolences

Ćamil Duraković, Vice President of the Republika Srpska entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, has filed a criminal complaint with the Higher State Prosecutor's Office in Montenegro against Andrije Mandić, the Speaker of the Parliament of Montenegro. The complaint follows Mandić's public expression of condolences to Darko Mladić, the son of Ratko Mladić, a convicted war criminal.

Duraković stated that Mandić's actions constitute a gross insult to the dignity of victims and their families, and that such behavior undermines trust between nations and compromises Montenegro's international reputation. He called for the urgent removal of Mandić from his position, arguing that a high-ranking state official cannot hold office while relativizing war crimes and ignoring international court rulings.

Montenegrin President Jakov Milatović and Prime Minister Milojko Spajić have both distanced themselves from the glorification of war crimes, a move Duraković welcomed. Additionally, the Montenegrin PEN Center condemned Mandić's gesture, noting that his public message, issued under the authority of the Parliament, suggests that international court verdicts are not final.
