Defense Minister, Dragan Krapovic, said that the Army of Montenegro would not remove the memorial plaque in Morinj, placed by former ministers, Rasko Konjevic and Ranko Krivokapic, along with representatives of the Croatian government.
At the session of the Security Council, asked by MP Jovan Vucurovic of the New Serbian Democracy about the plaque, Mr Krapovic said that it was a mistake to instal it. “It was done by the two ministers, on their own, without the permission of the other members of the government, and I think the site was declared as unpromising for the army, and in my opinion, the words on it are not facts”.
Minister Krapovic also noted that the Morinj camp events were not a consequence of the Greater-Serbia aggression, but the war in the former Yugoslavia. “For me, it was a consequence of operations in the former Yugoslavia, not the Greater-Serbian, Greater-Montenegrin aggression, but the war in the former Yugoslavia. I think that the whole thing was unfortunately realized by the fact that in addition to the ministers from Montenegro, officials from Croatia were also present: Minister Grlic Radman, and, according to my information, Tomo Medved”.
According to him, Mr Medved shouldn’t have been at the place where the condemnation of war crimes was affirmed, because, as he claimed, Medved was the minister who spoke at the opening of the monument to Mir Baresic, who was one of the assassins of Vladimir Rolovic.
“It shouldn’t have happened in Montenegro. We should take care about our dignity, but also the dignity of our allies from Croatia”.
The Minister also noted that there was no written order based on which members of the Army of Montenegro should protect the memorial plaque.
