Spaho was photographed in August 2008 giving money to naked dancers at the Malibu nightclub in Loznica. After the photos leaked to public, Spaho has stated that the dancers were photoshopped into the photo. When the declaration on the Srebrenica Massacre was discussed, he was not present in the assembly hall, and he will be remembered for encouraging Ratko Mladić, then a fugitive, to never surrender.
