Andrije Mandić faces criminal complaint over Ratko Mladić condolences

Andrije Mandić Ćamil Duraković Ratko Mladić Montenegro Parliament criminal complaint

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 violation of the dignity of victims and their families, and argue that such conduct undermines trust between nations and compromises Montenegro's international reputation. He has called for the urgent removal of Mandić from his position, asserting that a high-ranking official cannot hold office while questioning international court rulings and the principles of justice.

Mandić's actions have drawn criticism from the Croatian government, the European Parliament, and various civil society organizations, with critics suggesting the move contradicts Montenegro's European Union accession goals. Conversely, Duraković noted that Montenegrin Prime Minister Milojko Spajić and President Jakov Milatović have distanced themselves from the glorification of war crimes, a stance he welcomed.
