Terzić stated that the Serbian Security Information Agency (BIA) requested the entry ban, citing "protection of the security of the Republic of Serbia and its citizens." He believes the decision is detrimental to Serbian students, as they had final exams scheduled for the following days.

Last night, after four hours of detention at GP Špiljani, I was handed the Decision on prohibiting entry into Serbia - for reasons of protecting the security of the Republic of Serbia and its citizens.

Terzić previously served as the acting director of the Police Directorate under Dritan Abazović's government. The entry ban came just hours after a charter flight carrying 87 men was returned from Tivat to Belgrade due to national security concerns. Montenegrin security services identified the group as a threat, noting some individuals had records of criminal offenses and violent misdemeanors.

I am surprised and truly disappointed by such a decision by the state authorities of the Republic of Serbia.
