According to reports from Herzegovinian media, he had previously attended these sessions as a guest, and citizens are also allowed to do the same. However, when Bandić attempted to do so today, security guards tried to stop him, while he resisted and continued to struggle to enter the hall. In the end, as seen in the footage, he was left without part of his shirt. The President of the Grude Municipal Council, Martin Kondža, insisted that the session begin, and some council members left the hall, with the session continuing without them. Kondža asked those present to remain calm as the discussion proceeded during the session, but the details in the footage, which was broadcasting the session live, could not be heard. "Please don't put on a circus; you won't achieve anything. Let the police come, I have no objection... I see no other way, esteemed colleagues and citizens, than to proceed with the session," Binđa said.
