The Higher State Prosecutor’s Office in Bijelo Polje has dismissed the criminal complaint against Mojsije Bulatović and Nenad Vlahović, both from Kolašin, who were suspected of committing the criminal offence of inciting national, racial and religious hatred in connection with an incident involving the removal of a banner bearing the words „May Montenegro be eternal“ („Da je vječna Crna Gora“) at the entrance to Kolašin.

The information was provided to the ETV Portal by the Higher State Prosecutor’s Office.

- Following the preliminary investigation, a decision was made to dismiss the criminal complaint - the Higher State Prosecutor’s Office stated in its response to the ETV Portal.

As a reminder, an attempt was made to remove a banner bearing the inscription „May Montenegro be eternal“ at the Žuti Krš site, near the Blue Bridge at the entrance to Kolašin. The banner had been erected to mark the 20th anniversary of the restoration of Montenegro’s independence.

Among those involved in the attempt to remove the banner were Mojsije Bulatović, an activist and member of the Democrats party who also owns a private construction company, and Nenad Vlahović.

Photographs and video footage published by the ETV Portal show the attempt to remove the banner, which was subsequently partially taken down and knocked down the slope.
