The case of "Dnevnica" producer Lejla Kašić, who accused and reported musician Antoni Pušić for sexual harassment, showed how misogynistic Montenegrin society can be, Ana Jaredić from the Center for Women's Rights said in Colors of the Morning.

"His announcement abounds in the demonstration of power and an offensive tone, from which we can see that it is gender-based violence, from which it can be read that this is exactly the attitude towards women... This is not a way to resolve frustrations, there is no justification for such behavior," she said. is Jaredić in the morning program TV Vijesti.

She said that from Pušić's statement you can see how threatened Kašić was at that moment and why she reacted. "As a society, we should support her courage, because it is not easy to face the public. Usually victims of sexual harassment, when they rebel against someone famous, are the target of various comments," she pointed out.

Lecturer at the Faculty of Law, Andreja Mihailović, said that the presumption of innocence should be respected, especially in sensitive topics, and that it is unnecessary to disclose details to the public, but that it should remain in the domain of the procedure and institutions that will deal with the case.

"I welcome the willingness of the victim to report this crime, because it sends a daily positive impulse to other victims to talk about this openly and report these crimes. These criminal acts are neglected, the influence of the environment is extremely strong here, because the victim is often out of fear and the powerless addresses the environment, addresses the environment and leads with its advice, which is often wrong...", she stated.
