Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić stated that there is no information that Serbia does not share with Montenegro when it comes to the coup attempt.

She said that she had not seen the statements of the president of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), Milo Đukanović, that the Serbian security services knew that an attempted coup was being prepared in Montenegro last October, before a group of Serbian citizens were arrested in Podgorica.

"Regional relations, including relations with Montenegro, are excellent, despite the open issues that exist between all the countries of the region. So I think that, as far as Montenegro is concerned, there is nothing that we have not already discussed "one on one", what we have not agreed upon and that there is no information that we do not share," Brnabić told Radio Free Europe.

Brnabić added, Serbia shares all the information it has from security aspects with its neighbors in the best possible faith, in order to maintain regional stability, which was achieved with great difficulty.

"To show, also, that we are one of the pillars of that regional stability and that we help whenever we can with any matters that are in question. So, certainly, if he has such knowledge, I don't think that it is harmful or for criticizing Serbia", said Brnabić.

Đukanović recently said that he had access to the file of the security services of Serbia, from which it is clear that the material was created well before October 16 of last year, when the group that was tried for the attempted coup was arrested.

When asked why the evidence was not delivered to the Montenegrin authorities on time, Đukanović replied that he wanted to believe that the Serbian security structures "did not recognize in a timely manner the ultimate intentions of a violent takeover of power and provoking a fratricidal war in Montenegro."

"Perhaps that's why they didn't rush to inform key state decision-makers in Serbia about their findings," he said at the time.
