The Government of Montenegro made a decision on the withdrawal of six ambassadors, confirmed the Minister of Foreign Affairs Đorđe Radulović and said that this was done in order to present the foreign policy authentically.

As "Vijesti" announced this morning, ambassador to the United Nations Milica Pejanović Đurišić, ambassadors to Croatia Boro Vučinić, Slovenia Vujica Lazović, Argentina Srđan Stanković, United Kingdom Vladimir Beratović and Montenegro's ambassador to the Council of Europe Zoran Janković were recalled.

Radulović said at the press conference, after the meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sweden, Ana Lind, that the impeached had a reasonable deadline by which they should return to Montenegro and to duty at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MVP).

"All the ambassadors were informed of these facts in a timely manner, a phone call was sent to them," said Radulović.

He said that the recalled ambassadors who have a permanent employment relationship in the MFA will continue to work, and those who came to that position from other positions will return to their previous positions.

Asked whether Montenegro will join the EU sanctions against Belarus and how much this could affect the tourist season, Radulović replied that the foreign policy priorities are clear and that they are European integration of the country, good regional cooperation and credible membership in NATO.

According to him, Chapter 31 is as important as any other.

"The implementation of a common foreign policy is something that is expected of us, as you heard from Minister Linda, the situation in Belarus is not something that worries only the EU, but something that also worries the OSCE and that worries many of our partners," said Radulović.

He said that Montenegro will soon receive an invitation to join the restrictive measures.

"When there is an invitation to join with restrictive measures, Montenegro will join and continue to have 100 percent compliance with the common foreign policy," said Radulović.
