There is no Montenegro without freedom, Bećković's poetic work, aesthetically measured and measured, was included in the all-time monuments to such a free Montenegro.
This was said by the President of Montenegro and the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), Milo Đukanović, when he personally presented the Njegoš Award to Matija Bećković in 1998, in the ceremonial hall of Đurđe Crnojević in the Government House in Cetinje.
"This achieved the dignity of Njegoš and the name of Billiards in Cetinje", Đukanović said at the time.
The awarding of the Njegoš Award to Matija Bećković was also attended by the then President of the Assembly Svetozar Marović, Prime Minister Filip Vujanović, the former President of the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts (CANU) Dragutin Vukotić, and Metropolitan Amfilohije of Montenegro and the Littoral.
"And when it seems that the man from Njegoš has disappeared somewhere, together with his humility, consciousness and freedom - as long as Njegoš's poetic and philosophical legacy resonates - Njegoš is among us," said Đukanović when presenting the award to Matija Bećković.
