All recalled ambassadors are denied access to the embassies, their financing ends, and they can use the apartments until the notice period, "Vijesti" has learned from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

They are not allowed to continue using any of the MFA's assets, such as official cars.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reminded that the ambassadors recalled by the Government were given a deadline of February 15 to complete all their obligations in the host countries.

"The instruction in question was sent back on December 18 last year. The ambassadors were ordered to hand over their duties, and the recall will formally come into effect with the signature of the president. In accordance with the Law on Foreign Affairs and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, today's instruction designated temporary chargé d'affaires , who will manage the work of the embassies until new ambassadors are appointed. The Ministry, in accordance with international regulations and diplomatic practice, informed the host countries about the said decision," the announcement states.

The current ambassador of Montenegro to the Vatican, Miodrag Vlahović, announced yesterday that he will not respect the decision on the impeachment until the President of Montenegro, Milo Đukanović, signs it.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that these activities will not be tolerated, but that they can harm the reputation and image of Montenegro in the host country.

"We believe that the announcement of damage to the international reputation of Montenegro is not the reason why, despite the gentleman's agreement, the decree referred to by the ambassador has not yet been signed," the MFA concluded.

About twenty days ago, Đukanović met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Đorđe Radulović and the Deputy Prime Minister Dritan Abazović, after which it was announced that an agreement had been reached regarding the recalled ambassadors.

The government previously recalled ambassadors from China, Darko Pajović, the Vatican, Miodrag Vlahović, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Obrad Stanišić, Italy, Sanja Vlahović, Germany, Vera Kuliš, Serbia, Tarzan Milošević, and the United Arab Emirates, Dušanka Jeknić.
