Đukanović: Renunciation of anti-fascism recommended by those who want Montenegro to finally renounce its identity

Milo Đukanović

Montenegro has made the most progress in the process of Europeanization, and if it remained off the rails now, it would be a catastrophe, says the President of Montenegro Milo Đukanović, answering questions from journalists from the region at the 5th Podgorica Journalists’ Forum.

He believes that the policy of a civil state, multi-ethnic democracy and the European value system has begun to take root in Montenegro.

According to him, overcoming divisions in the country is a challenge, but the way to overcome them should be sought without renouncing anti-fascism because that would mean renouncing oneself.

“The renunciation of anti-fascism is in fact the renunciation of the state of itself. This is recommended to us by those who want Montenegro to finally give up its identity. If we talk about the Montenegrin identity, its most valuable link is anti-fascism”, says Mr Đukanović.

He is convinced that Montenegro is determined to preserve a civil Montenegro.

“Now that all of Europe is on the path to unification, there are no big dilemmas, I would say not for intelligent politicians, but for intelligent people. I’m not an apologist of Europe, I see European weaknesses, but I absolutely know that there is a much worse solution than all the weaknesses we see in Europe today, and that is to stay out of the European track, it would be a catastrophe for all of us”, Mr Đukanović points out.
