Belgrade – Historian Predrag Markovic called the decision of the outgoing Montenegrin government to oust Serbian ambassador Vladimir Bozovic a sham.

He also commented on the statement by North Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev that Yugoslavia separated Macedonians and Bulgarians, which he said was half-hearted and offensive.
In the online tribune on the topic “Unification of Yugoslavia on December 1, 1918: from hope to tragedy” organized by the Serbian company Privrednik in Zagreb, Markovic especially pointed out the Montenegrin mentality of “eternal discussion on the past”.
He pointed out that no one else would dream of canceling something from 1918 in the 2018 parliament.
Quoting Marx that “what is a tragedy once is a sham”, Markovic says that in the “Montenegrin case” the expulsion of the Serbian ambassador is a sham.
It is difficult, he points out, to imagine a nation that benefited more from Yugoslavia than the Montenegrins. At one point, he recalled, 25 percent of JNA generals were Montenegrins.
He also pointed out that most of the victims in Sutjeska were Croatians and that thanks to, as he said, the commercialization of Montenegrins, all of Yugoslavia was singing songs about Commander Sava Kovacevic.
Speaking about the mistake of Zaev, who said that the Bulgarians and Macedonians were separated by Yugoslavia, Markovic notes that the struggle for Macedonian identity was only successful in the Yugoslav framework.
That is why, he says, Zaev’s statement is poltronic and insulting to those Macedonians who tried to find their identity in the Skopje-Sofia-Belgrade triangle.
