Actor Dragan Mićanović was prevented from giving his opening speech at the Herceg Novi Film Festival due to its critical content, sparking condemnation from NGOs, artists, and the Montenegrin PEN Center. The incident has raised concerns about censorship and suppression of artistic freedom in Montenegro. Mićanović intended to discuss issues such as violence in Serbia, lack of funding for film art, and the 'systematic elimination of the free-thinking scene'. The festival's sponsors, the Ministry of Culture and Media and the Municipality of Herceg Novi, have been criticized for their role in the incident.
