Summary/Abstract: The death of Ratko Mladić, legally convicted of genocide and war crimes, started a new wave of his glorification throughout the region, and in Montenegro it exposed the gap between the state's formal obligations, legally established facts and the lack of political readiness to consistently defend them. Analyzing numerous cases of glorification of Mladić by state and local officials, party officials, representatives of religious structures and other actors, the Center for Civic Education (CGO) points to selective and unacceptably weak institutional reactions. While there were no sanctions against high-ranking officials, reactions were faster, but mostly misdemeanors, against citizens and marginal groups.
