We have never stopped loving Montenegro and instead of feeling like we are our own, in the last two years we feel as if the government sees us as a burden, said Nedžad Nurković, president of the Association of Associations of Montenegro in Germany.

As reported by the RTCG portal, he said this during the diaspora protest against the current government in Montenegro, which took place tonight in the "Bemax Arena". According to the assessment of that portal, there were several hundred people at the meeting.

"It's an unnecessary burden that they want to get rid of. And they're getting rid of it slowly. They're taking away our citizenships. They want to take away our residences. They want to take away all the rights we have, except for us to send them money. That seems to be the only thing that doesn't bother them," he pointed out. is Nurkovic.

It was announced at the meeting that Montenegrin emigrants will fight for Montenegro and that they will defend it "against domestic evil and traitors".

Representatives of the diaspora recalled that they made a key contribution to the restoration of independence in 2006.

"When we fought for Montenegro's independence in 2006, we didn't do it because we hated someone, but because we fought for ourselves and our freedom, for Montenegro to become part of the European Union," said Nurković.

Ljubo Radović, president of the Association of Montenegrins in Croatia, said that the diaspora will defend Montenegro.

"Like always, the diaspora and emigrants came to tell you: 'We love you, we love you, Montenegro.' Let us tell you that as much as we love you, we will defend you as much, from domestic evil and traitors who sell you out to death," said Radović.

Milovan Gojović, from the Association of Montenegrins in Australia, pointed out that they will not be stopped by those who are trying to derail Montenegro.

"We will oppose the extinguishing of the spark on July 13. They could not extinguish it with shock bombs or tear gas," Gojović pointed out.
