Beyond his work as a filmmaker, Stanetić has worked with the Coalition for RECOM, a network of nongovernmental organizations from across the Balkans who advocate for the formation of a commission that would systematically interrogate all war crimes and human rights violations that occurred across former Yugoslavia from 1991 through 2001.
