In the actions of the Minister-Counselor of the Embassy of the Republic of Serbia in Podgorica, actions were acquired and irrefutably established, which flagrantly violate the letter and spirit of the Vienna Convention, good faith and good practice in interstate relations and diplomatic relations, announced the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MVP ).

As they point out, Montenegro fully complies with the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and expects the same from all diplomatic representatives in our country.

Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Government of Serbia, Ivica Dacic, he said earlier that the Montenegrin authorities forbade the chargé d'affaires of the Embassy of Serbia in Podgorica, Ljubiša Milanović, to attend meetings of state bodies and institutions.

That is why, as Dacic said, Serbia applied reciprocal measures against the "person number two" of the Montenegrin embassy in Belgrade, Minister-Counselor Ana Ražnatović.

"In the actions of the Minister-Counselor of the Embassy of the Republic of Serbia in Podgorica, procedures were acquired and irrefutably established, which flagrantly violate the letter and spirit of the Vienna Convention, good faith and good practice in interstate relations and diplomatic relations. In open and very fair communication, with mutual understanding, the ambassador of the Republic of Serbia in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro was informed precisely and in detail about the nature of these activities, as well as the appropriate measures that will be taken by the Montenegrin authorities.

On the other hand, as they note, the Montenegrin diplomat in the position of Minister Counselor at the Embassy of Montenegro in Belgrade behaves and acts appropriately and exemplary, "respecting all the standards and rules of the Vienna Convention", so, apart from mere reciprocity, there are real motives and reasons for undertaking there is no measure against it.
