United Montenegro councilor in the Capital City Assembly, Milivoje Brković Brdža, was arrested on the orders of the Basic State Prosecutor on suspicion that he disturbed individuals or a group of people by announcing his support for the buried war criminal Ratko Mladić yesterday.
He is accused of violating Article 13 of the Law on the Protection of Equality and Prohibition of Discrimination.
The Law on the Protection of Equality and Prohibition of Discrimination, in Article 13, stipulates that harassment is considered unwanted behavior towards a person or group of persons on any of the legally protected grounds, if such behavior has the purpose or consequence of violating dignity, causing fear, humiliation or insult, or creating a hostile, humiliating or offensive environment.
"Vijesti" was unofficially told that Brković posted a video of a performance in Podgorica on his Facebook profile, when a group of men spread a banner reading "General Christ is Risen", and then lit torches in the colors of the tricolor...
Brković will be brought before a misdemeanor judge today.
Ratko Mladić, the former commander of the Army of Republika Srpska, who died in The Hague while serving a life sentence for genocide and war crimes, was buried yesterday at Belgrade's Topčider Cemetery.
In addition to Mladić, former Republika Srpska President Radovan Karadžić was sentenced to life imprisonment for the genocide in Srebrenica, and three other life sentences were also handed down.
Mladić's trial began on May 16, 2012, and the presentation of evidence lasted more than four years.
The Chamber sat for 530 days of trial, presenting testimonies from 592 witnesses and almost 10.000 exhibits.
Ratko Mladić died on August 27, at the age of 84, in the prison hospital in The Hague.
