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 izjavio je za SE Times da bi skandal mogao ozbiljno ugroziti taj proces i da bi mogao štetno uticati na Srbiju jer «Srbija ima više problema koje treba da reši nego Crna Gora, uključujući saradnju sa Haškim tribunalom, rešavanje statusa Kosova i korupciju u pravosuđu».
