EU Enlargement Commissioner Oliver Varhelji welcomed the decision of the Government of Serbia to withdraw the decision to declare the Ambassador of Montenegro an undesirable person and called on Montenegro to do the same. The Montenegrin Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it will not withdraw its decision.
The decision that Vladimir Bozovic is undesirable in Montenegro remains in effect. The Montenegrin Ministry of Foreign Affairs says they welcome the decision of the Serbian Government to renounce the expulsion of the Montenegrin Ambassador, because there was no reason for that, as Tarzan Milosevic did not interfere in the internal affairs of Serbia.
“Unlike ours, the Serbian ambassador to Montenegro has continuously interfered in the internal affairs of the country in which he serves, with his interpretations of history questioning his independence, denying the Montenegrin Parliament Resolution on the illegitimate Parliament of Podgorica, which it is known to be represented in the history of Montenegro, “the Montenegrin ministry said in a statement.
The expulsion of Ambassador Vladimir Bozovic is a political act, says former Foreign Minister and now Speaker of the Serbian Parliament, Ivica Dacic. And the same reasons given by the Montenegrin Foreign Ministry for Dačica are debatable.
“If that was the case, then we would have to hunt down an ambassador here every day. Wait, what is everyone talking about Kosovo? Well, not that the Battle of Mojkovac and the Podgorica Assembly is anything more difficult to violate. the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia “. Dacic commented.
To the statement of the Enlargement Commissioner Oliver Varhelji, who welcomes the decision of the Government of Serbia not to expel Ambassador Milosevic and the call to Montenegro to do the same, Montenegro responds that this time the Commissioner “did not at least exchange information basic “.
The European Commission responds that they sent their message.
Respect for good neighborly relations is a cornerstone of the enlargement, association and stabilization process. Serbia and Montenegro is making strong progress towards accession to the European Union. The European Union calls for the avoidance of acts that would disturb mutual relations, preserve dialogue and mutual trust, which is very important. On the way to the European Union ”, said the spokeswoman for the European Commission in charge of enlargement, Ana Pisonero.
The Montenegrin authorities’ decision to expel Božović appears hasty and vindictive, says journalist Boško Jakšić, but he also adds that Vučić got a diplomatic benefit by deciding to keep Tarzán Milošević in Belgrade.
“In this situation, Vučić was used to portray himself as a peacemaker, as someone who diplomatically does not want to add fuel to the fire … that we should not act like two rams on a log. He made diplomatic points and was praised by Commissioner Varhelji. pa We can assume this was all a situation built just to get those accolades, ”says Jaksic.
The new conflict between Belgrade and Podgorica takes place just a few days before the formation of the new Government of Montenegro, in which the DPS of Milo Djukanovic will not be present for the first time. Closer cooperation with Belgrade is expected from the new Pogorica government.
