Those against Montenegro’s independence now do not back religious freedom law

Zoran Ostojić

The implementation of the Law on Freedom of Religion, which is now in its drafting phase, will put two kinds of challenge before Montenegro. The first refers to the political/civic one, while the second is canonical. Those who did not approve of the renewal of the Montenegrin independence in fact are the same people who are not satisfied with your desire to develop a country based on the rule of law through the Euro-Atlantic integrations. They do not attack Montenegro as a state even though they themselves claim to do so, but rather its policy, a journalist from Belgrade, editor and former LDP MP, Mr Zoran Ostojić, tells in an interview with Dnevne Novine daily.

As for the relations between Montenegro and Serbia, he believes that the draft law on religious freedom might lead to a worsening of relations between the two countries. They are not supposed to be like that, but are better than in times of Tadić’s and Koštunića’s ruling, believes Mr Ostojić.

The story about ‘Great Serbia’ was finished in 1918, according to him.

“Events that happened during the bloody collapse of Yugoslavia in the 90’s didn’t intend to create the ‘Great Serbia’ as a modern state with the rule of law and integrated into the Euro-Atlantic integrations, but rather a puppet state that would preserve the influence of Moscow on the territories where the Serbs (and the Montenegrins) are majority,” claims Mr Ostojić.
