In Bijelo Polje, Montenegro, protests and advocacy have emerged following the failure to execute a prison sentence against an 85-year-old ~~man~~ man, Milojica Vujisić, convicted of sexually abusing a seven-year-old girl. Although the defendant received a five-year sentence in October 2025, he remained free nearly a year later. The victim’s mother began protesting in front of the court to demand immediate imprisonment, alleging that the defendant and his family have used legal loopholes and appeals to avoid justice. The delay has been criticized by the association ‘Roditelji’, which noted the distress caused by the perpetrator living in the same neighborhood as the victim. By early September 2026, multiple non-governmental organizations joined the call for action, urging the Basic and High Courts to enforce the final verdict. These groups expressed concern over the negative impact the delay has had on the child and her family, noting that the case had already undergone multiple legal hurdles and previous acquittals before the Supreme Court confirmed the conviction. On September 7, 2026, the victim's mother temporarily suspended her protest for three days following notification from the President of the High Court, Milan Smolović, that an appeal to delay the sentence based on health issues was rejected. The mother stated she would resume her protests if the individual is not taken into custody within this three-day window.
