Belgrade law professor Stevan Lilic told SE Times that the scandal could seriously damage that process, and could have a detrimental effect on Serbia, because "Serbia has more problems than Montenegro to solve, including the co-operation with The Hague tribunal, resolving Kosovo's status and judiciary corruption."
Beogradski profesor prava Stevan Lilić rekao je SE Timesu kako bi skandal mogao ozbiljno ugroziti taj proces te imati suprotan učinak po Srbiju, budući da "Srbija treba riješiti više problema od Crne Gore, uključujući suradnju s tribunalom u Haagu, rješavanje statusa Kosova i korupcije u pravosuđu."
