Milos Zimonja was sentenced to one year and eight months, while Slavisa Drakul was given one year for violent behavior at a sporting event.

Aleksandar Sostar, deputy minister of sport and youth, told B92 that the current law was good and that it was in line with Council of Europe conventions. "We have a very good law on paper. However, it is not being implemented as it should. It is important for the law to be implemented fully, but that is not up to the Sports Ministry. In most cases, the police do their job, arrest the suspects, but then everything is dragged out, probably because there are many such cases,” he said. Sostar said that cooperation between the Sports Ministry and the Interior and Justice Ministries was good, and that the role of the Sports and Youth Ministry was prevention and education.
