Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said in Kruševac that tonight's decision by the state leadership to abandon the expulsion of the Montenegrin ambassador to Belgrade, Tarzan Milošević, is absolutely correct, because relations between neighbors and friends are much more than conventions.
After a tour of the works on the construction of a new covid hospital in the "Rasina" barracks, Vučić said this evening that by giving up the expulsion of Milošević, Serbia "has nothing to lose, and is showing strength".
"We have done a good thing for Serbia. We should not behave like two rams on a hill and show our force. It is up to us to show that we want friendly, best possible and fraternal relations with Montenegro. I think our decision will contribute to creating a better atmosphere and greater responsibility in mutual relations," said Vučić.
He stated that his initiative was for Serbia to cancel yesterday's decision on declaring Milošević an undesirable person and that Prime Minister Ana Brnabić and Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Selaković agreed with this.
Vučić said that yesterday, when his Ministry declared Milošević persona non grata, Selaković "acted in accordance with the rules of the Vienna Convention, the way a sovereign state acts", but that his position was that "the relations of neighbors and friends are much more than convention".
Yesterday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia decided to expel Milosevic after Montenegro declared the ambassador of Serbia in Podgorica, Vladimir Božović, persona non grata and asked him to leave the country within 72 hours.
The Montenegrin Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced yesterday that Božović had been continuously interfering in the internal affairs of Montenegro for a long time and that he had made statements incompatible with the usual and acceptable standards of diplomatic function.
