The Government of Montenegro decided a few months ago to send the former Minister of Defense Milica Pejanović Đurišić to the position of ambassador to the United Nations, but she has not yet made a statement about it, "Vijesti" has learned from several sources.

The position of head of the Permanent Mission to the UN will be vacant, after the Government yesterday accepted the proposal to recall Željko Perović from that post.

The Government's decision states that he will be recalled due to moving to another place, which will be Austria.

Perović will succeed Igor Milić as ambassador in Vienna, whose mandate has expired and who is returning to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The former Minister of Defense was ambassador twice.

For the first time in front of the state union of Serbia and Montenegro in Belgium and Luxembourg, and after gaining independence she was appointed ambassador to France.

In her biography on the website of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), it is stated that Pejanović Đurišić is fluent in French, Italian and English.

Yesterday, the government also recalled the ambassador of Montenegro to Russia, Igor Jovović.

He will be replaced in Moscow by Ramiz Bašić.

Both Perović and Bašić appeared before the Parliamentary Committee for International Relations at the end of October, where they received a positive opinion.

On the same day, Snežana Radović, who was appointed ambassador to Bulgaria, also received a positive opinion from the Board.

According to the Constitution, the President of Montenegro appoints ambassadors on the proposal of the Government, after which the parliamentary committee of the Committee is expected to make a statement.

This year, the government made several decisions on the deployment of Montenegrin diplomats, so former minister and MP Vujic Lazović was appointed ambassador to Ljubljana, where he replaced the former mayor of Podgorica, Miomir Mugoša.

Former minister and MP Sanja Vlahović was appointed ambassador to Rome, where she replaced Anton Sbutega.

Miodrag Vlahović, former head of diplomacy and ambassador to Washington, was appointed ambassador to the Vatican. He succeeded Veselin Šuković in that position.

During the year, the government also made a decision to open an embassy in Spain, and Aleksandar Eraković, the former chief political advisor to Prime Minister Duško Marković, was appointed to that position.
