Michael Brand, a German politician and member of the Bundestag who worked closely with Mehmedović, noted that she "fought like a lioness" on behalf of the massacre victims and their families, but "justice was her mission, not revenge." He called her "a thorn in the side of people who to this day try to sweep the most serious war crimes under the carpet and rewrite history" and reiterated that without Mehmedović many details and perpetrators of the attacks in Srebrenica would have never been uncovered.
