Montenegro held several commemorations to honor historical military victories and national heritage. On September 29, a formal academy was held in Podgorica to mark the 230th anniversary of the Battles of Martinići and Krusi. During this event, religious and defense leaders honored the leadership of Saint Peter of Cetinje, noting his role in unifying tribes and establishing the foundations of the state.

Following these ceremonies, government and military officials continued commemorations on October 1. This included laying wreaths at the Krusi monument to recognize the victory over Mahmut-paša Bušatlija. In preparation for the Day of the Armed Forces on October 7, military units also conducted a 10-kilometer march from Bar to the Tuđemili monument to link modern professionalism with the historical legacy of Prince Vojislav’s forces.
