Serbian Ambassador to Montenegro Vladimir Božović was declared persona non grata and was asked to leave Montenegro, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro announced.
As they said, in accordance with Articles 9 and 41 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Privileges and Immunities, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro today declared the Ambassador of the Republic of Serbia in Montenegro, Vladimir Božović, persona non grata and asked him to leave Montenegro.
"After a long and continuous interference in the internal affairs of Montenegro, behavior and statements incompatible with the usual and acceptable standards of performing a diplomatic function, after several oral and written warnings about the unacceptability of such behavior, yesterday Ambassador Božović called the illegal and illegitimate Podgorica Assembly in 1918 "liberation ” and the “free will” of the Montenegrin people, with which he once again, in the most direct way, belittled the country that gave him diplomatic hospitality," the announcement states.
They said that by doing so, he also humiliated the highest legislative and representative body - the Assembly of Montenegro, which on November 29, 2018 adopted the Resolution on the annulment of the decisions of the Podgorica Assembly, which, as they claim, abolished the previous sovereignty of Montenegro, its territory was annexed to the Kingdom of Serbia, and King Nikola Petrović Njegoš was forcibly dethroned.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia about this in the usual way, by means of a note, and the note will also be delivered to Ambassador Božović," the announcement states.
