The crew of the Television of Montenegro reported the incident on September 1, 2021, when they were not allowed to do journalistic work in the gates of the Cetinje Monastery because a group of priests and young men forbade them to shoot material for a documentary film. Firstly the priests, and then a group of young men, did not allow the editors of the Documentary Program, Tanja Sukovic, and the cameraman Dragan Tomasevic to record the material for their documentary show. On that occasion, they filed a criminal complaint, for which the competent state prosecutor determined that there were no grounds. The management of the Public Service later announced that the filming of the documentary show was not planned for that day.
