Defense Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic said tonight that the decision on the departure of the Serbian state delegation to the funeral of Metropolitan Amfilohije of Montenegro and the Litoral “was never questioned”, but that the decision “was not easy”.
He stated on TV Pink that the decision was made “at a complex political moment”, because certain political options accused President Aleksandar Vučić of cooperating with the President of Montenegro, Milo Đukanović.
“And when there are differences and you don’t agree on all issues, there has always been respect for what (Amfilohije) did in Montenegro … You saw how aggressive (Vucic) was, whatever he did. I think it was good for President Vučić respect the late Metropolitan Amfilohije, as well as (what would be) an additional political message, “says Stefanović.
Commenting on whether the death of Metropolitan Amfilohije will hinder the formation of the new Government of Montenegro, Stefanović affirms that it is an internal matter of that state and that Serbia will respect the decision of the people of Montenegro.
“(Our goal) is to work to strengthen mutual relations … and fight for the rights of the Serbian people. We want to strengthen the position of the Serbian people, we have invested three million euros in the Serbian House. We try to show care, we will continue to work … and to protect the identity of Serbs, “said Stefanović.
