Additionally, a court in Podgorica has imposed supervision measures on Julija Kušnarova for suspected medical malpractice and Dražen Lakićević for illegal trade.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Srebrenica Memorial Center has declared it will not cooperate with the Republika Srpska police and prosecution, characterizing their request to seize documentation as a politically motivated attempt to discipline the institution.
