Nova's reaction to the statement of Vučić's associate: We are not a minority in our house

The New Serbian Democracy announced yesterday that the Serbs in Montenegro are not and cannot be a national minority, and this position is supported by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), its president Aleksandar Vučić and Serbian President Tomislav Nikolić, announced yesterday from Nova.

Nova reacted to the statement of the President of the National Assembly of Serbia and the Vice-President of the SNS, Nebojša Stefanović, who called the Serbs in Montenegro a national minority. He also stated that, based on discussions with his Montenegrin colleague Ranko Krivokapić and Head of Diplomacy Igor Lukšić, he believes that the Montenegrin authorities are ready to work to improve the position of the Serbs.

Nova's spokesman, Jovan Vučurović, said that in that party they were surprised by Stefanović's attitude, "which may not have been conveyed well".

The thesis that Serbs in Montenegro are a national minority originated precisely from the Montenegrin regime. Our colleagues from SNS know all this, said Vučurović

He stated that the thesis that the Serbs in Montenegro are a national minority originated precisely from the Montenegrin regime.

"At one time they even established the so-called Council of the Serbian National Minority, all with the intention of presenting Serbs to guests in their own home, in the country that they created and for which our ancestors bled, and in which we will never agree to be a national minority. Our colleagues from SNS know all this, who, like the President of Serbia, Tomislav Nikolić, well understand the character and nature of the relationship between the Serbian people and the state of Montenegro," said Vučurović.

He emphasized that the Serbian people do not agree to depend on the charity or goodwill of any regime politician, including Lukšić and Krivokapić.

"We persistently insist and demand the application of valid democratic standards and the cessation of discrimination against the Serbian people and the Serbian language community in Montenegro. We are well on our way to fighting for absolute equality of citizens and national communities through the process of changing the government in Montenegro," said Vučurović.
