[25] The High State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica (HSPO) had yet to determine whose bullet killed Borilović.

On 15 August, interior minister Filip Adžić stated that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would form a special commission that would investigate in detail actions taken by the Cetinje Police during the shooting event due to a lot of misinformation that has appeared in the public.

He had worked in the Lovćen National Park for five years up to his death, and previously as the head of the environmental hygiene service.

[44] On 13 August, prosecutor Andrijana Nastić confirmed Kaluđerović's identity; he was at the time believed to have fired the shot that killed Borilović.
