 In May 2002 , plans for a " Montenegrin Ravna Gora " memorial complex to be located near Berane were prepared . The complex was to be dedicated to Đurišić , who spent some of his youth in Berane and established his wartime headquarters there . In June 2003 , the Montenegrin Minister of Culture Vesna <unk> banned the construction of the monument , saying the Ministry of Culture had not applied for approval to erect it . The Association of War Veterans of the National Liberation Army ( <unk> ) objected to the construction of the monument , saying Đurišić was a war criminal who was responsible for the deaths of many colleagues of the veterans association and 7 @,@ 000 Muslims . The Muslim Association of Montenegro condemned the construction and stated , " this is an attempt to rehabilitate him and it is a great insult to the children of the innocent victims and the Muslim people in Montenegro " . On 4 July 2002 , the Montenegrin government forbade the unveiling of the monument , stating that it " caused public concern , encouraged division among the citizens of Montenegro , and incited national and religious hatred and intolerance " . A press release from the committee in charge of the monument 's construction said the actions taken by the government were " absolutely illegal and inappropriate " . On 7 July , the police removed the stand that had been prepared for the monument .
