A flag represents and symbolizes a country or an organization and any person burning it shows disrespect and bad manners. It’s a kind of destruction, Ratko Božović, a sociologist and professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Belgrade, told Pobjeda, a daily.

And this is what the professor had to say on Marko Milačić’s recent performance during the protests in Podgorica, when the leader of Prava Crna Gora (the Real Montenegro) burned the NATO flag for the NATO’s 70th anniversary.

Božović continued: “I personally believe that was not a proper way, but some people express their political commitment in that way. Of course, it would be much worse if they burned the people, but any burning represents a kind of destruction.”

According to him, introducing punishments for this offence wouldn’t solve the problem.
