Serbia's Minister of Defense Aleksandar Vulin will today pay tribute to the former Federal Minister of Defense Pavlo Bulatović, who was killed two decades ago, in Gornji Rovci, it was confirmed to "Vijesta" from several sources.
The delegation is planned to include assistant minister Milan Ranković, as well as officers Rajko Milovanović, Mihailo Zogović, Vesko Mimović and Vasilije Furundžić.
The Government and the Ministry of Defense of Serbia did not respond to questions about whether Vulin is coming, and according to unofficial information, an official visit has not been announced.
This is the main reason why the government does not want to comment on the visit of the Serbian minister.
Vulina's visit was approved yesterday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro, "Vijesti" has learned from the Government.
Bulatović was killed on February 7, 2000 in the Rad Football Club restaurant in Belgrade.
The inquiry committee of the Assembly found that he was liquidated because he tried to prevent machinations during the procurement of military equipment.
There is no information that anyone in Rovci officially made a memorial to Bulatović since 2001.
"Večernje novosti" announced on Sunday that Vulin asked the Montenegrin authorities that the delegation, which he leads, on Tuesday in Montenegro mark two decades since the murder of Pavle Bulatović.
The Minister of Defense of Serbia, along with the head of diplomacy Ivica Dačić, is the harshest critic of the policy of the Montenegrin authorities, after the adoption of the Law on Freedom of Religion.
"No one is preventing the government of Montenegro from inventing its own church, just as it invented the occupation of Serbia," Vulin said in January and said that the official Podgorica does not expect Serbia to remain silent while the holy places of the Serbs are stolen.
After the adoption of the Law at the end of December, he said that trampling on the rights of the SPC and the feelings of the Orthodox Serbs in Montenegro is already being taken as an example that will be followed by the temporary institutions in Pristina.
Awarded to Andrija Mandić
In January of this year, Vulin presented one of the leaders of the DF, Andrija Mandić, with a military memorial medal for his contribution to the Serbian defense system, as well as an officer's saber.
On that occasion, Vulin said that everyone who defended FRY in 1999 deserves equal attention and respect, regardless of whether they are citizens of Serbia or Montenegro. Vulin did not answer the questions of "Vijesti" regarding the awarding of Mandić.
