Djukanovic:Communication with Vucic impossible, we know Greater Serbia project can’t be implemented without Montenegro

President of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic, told RTL that Greater Serbia nationalism wishes to take advantage of the geopolitical reshuffle regardless of the fact that it had already cost the Balkans 150.000 human lives.

“As you know, in the last 25 years, since the great political changes and especially since the restoration of independence, Montenegro has worked very hard to strengthen stability, religious and national harmony, and especially pave the way for Euro-Atlantic integration. We’ve become a member of NATO, we opened all negotiation chapters with the EU. We can freely say that we’ve made the greatest progress of all candidates on the path to membership. Croatia backed it, not only us, but everybody in the region. I personally believe that Croatia, as a responsible partner in NATO and our neighbor, wants Montenegro to stay on that path and achieve its goal as soon as possible,” he noted.

However, according to him, there has come to destabilization in our country and an attempt to renew the old, retrograde policies of great countries in the Western Balkans.

Mr Djukanovic has no doubts about who’s doing it.

“There’s no dilemma, the Serbian government is behind it”. Particularly, Aleksandar Vucic.

The President reiterates that the Serbian Orthodox Church represents an instrument for the realization of Greater Serbia nationalism.

“It’s clearly reflected in the current problems in Montenegro”.

As for the Montenegrin government, Mr Djukanovic doesn’t believe they can be in power for three more years. “Therefore, it’s clear that this government has no vision. Their vision is not to make concrete steps in the adoption of the European system of values, Montenegro’s EU membership. They haven’t even managed to attract a single investor in the country, on the contrary, they chased away several important ones. I’m afraid it’s not only about their ignorance. I’m afraid those were the instructions from Belgrade so that Montenegro can be subdued and thus much more easily integrated into the Serbian World,” he assessed.

Mr Djukanovic also said he was not in communication with Aleksandar Vucic.
