Instead of conducting a constructive strategic debate on finding the best solutions in such a spirit and in accordance with the expectations of the citizens, an unproductive polemic about the procurement of vaccines is being opened on Đukanović's public service, believes the president of the New Serbian Democracy, Andrija Mandić.
Vaccination of Montenegrin citizens begins and this information concerns the most concrete solution so far to the issue of the epidemic, and thus, as he says, the country "is catching up with Europe and the world" and that "makes every sane individual happy", says Mandić.
"Regardless of how much and whose share was in providing this precious aid. Contributions are auctioned off and those - whom Prime Minister Brnabić thanked, and who are not in the Government - are being auctioned off," he said in a statement.
He believes that all the vaccines that Serbia has acquired so far have been provided by the "friendly and political efforts of President Aleksandar Vučić".
Mandić adds that Montenegro would probably have vaccines on the same day as Serbia, if they were obtained through standard-commercial contracts, but also that some richer and more powerful countries than Serbia would have them before it, if money and price were the most important factor.
"I believe that neither my friend Minister Lončar, whom Minister Borovinić mentioned, nor Mrs. Brnabić will feel bad, because I will announce the following: if it were not for the initiative and approval of the President of Serbia, Montenegro would not have received any of the vaccines received, nor could start vaccination. Therefore, it is not difficult to conclude how things work, how which doors can be opened, at which address which decision is made and also - to whom what solutions are available, according to the contacts and connections he has and maintains," said Mandić .
He says that their contribution is "precisely in the fact that in the daily communication between my colleague Knežević and myself with the President of Serbia, we tried to get the vaccines to Montenegro as soon as possible."
For them, as for all other well-intentioned people, he says, the most important thing is that the help has arrived, and he considers their role to be modest, and that they "flag the thread with their own contribution, nor bid on someone else's, as was done in the debate on Đukanović's public service "
"I wouldn't have said so much on this subject, if there hadn't been disparagement, insults, and even unreasonable provocation by those - who should - if not thank us, then at least not mention us in an ugly context, unprovoked. In the spirit of statesmanship and national responsibility, we remain committed and committed to creating and implementing solutions," says Mandić.
In his statement, he also said that "if Montenegro does not acquire a larger quantity of vaccines that are needed for mass immunization, I guarantee that we will do everything, relying on our friendly relations with the President of Serbia, to provide those quantities from brotherly Serbia."
