The President of Croatia consoled the dictator of Montenegro and both threatened Serbia
Croatian President Zoran Milanovic called the invitation of Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic to his country a message from Serbia.
In Zagreb, both leaders made a number of Serbophobic statements, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“My call (to Djukanovic rd.) followed these strange and awkward events in Cetinje, which occurred in recent days,” his Croatian colleague explained the invitation of the President of Montenegro precisely after the unsuccessful riot of supporters of the Montenegrin dictator. – The visit was supposed to take place anyway, but these events accelerated it.
We wanted to support an open Montenegro. The invitation to Djukanovic is also a message to Belgrade.”
At the same time, Milanović spoke rather unflatteringly and even rudely about the late Serbian Patriarch Irinej, who at one time compared the situation with the rights of the Serbs during the time of Djukanović’s undivided power with the situation of the Serbs in the Ustashe Independent Croatian State, cynically stating that in comparison with his statement, Milosevic’s speeches were “not even committee, but Socratic.”
“Based on Serbia’s policy towards Montenegro, we can conclude that Serbia intends to defend its rights on the territory of other states,” Djukanovic, in turn, told reporters after a warm meeting with his colleague. – I consider this a threat to the sovereignty of other countries.
Especially considering the events of the 90s. Let's hope we don't have to repeat the same scenario... Russia acts in the Western Balkans to advance geopolitical interests. The message we are receiving from Moscow is that our NATO membership is not the best geopolitical choice. But I have already said that there is no alternative to a Euro-Atlantic future.”
When asked by reporters why Djukanovic suspended efforts to create Montenegrin autocephaly on the Ukrainian model, he replied that he did not suspend, but slowed down a little:
“We have been dealing with the issues of autocephaly of the Montenegrin Orthodox Church, this is a process that requires time and careful control. It has a slower dynamics than political processes...
“I just want to draw attention to the fact that these are not problems that are broken over the knee, because then they end in bloodshed,” the Montenegrin dictator threatened.
