The president of the Democratic People's Party (DNP) and one of the leaders of the Democratic Front (DF) Milan Knežević said that it is a "national shame" that Montenegro supported Kosovo's entry into the Council of Europe.
The Ambassador of Montenegro to the Council of Europe (CoE), Božidarka Krunić, today supported Kosovo's entry into the Council of Europe. She did this at the meeting of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe
Knežević stated in the statement that today the official Montenegro led by Prime Minister Dritan Abazović "joined the Montenegro of Milo Đukanović and Duško Marković who in 2008, against the will of 85 percent of the citizens," recognized the independence of Kosovo.
"This decision by Abazović's Government is one of the most shameful in Montenegrin history and further complicates the socio-political situation both in Montenegro and in the region. If the disintegrated Government of Dritan Abazović did not have the human and political courage to be against it, it could have voted with restraint, and on that way to show that it cares about the best relations with Serbia. But it has obviously become a rule that those who speak most declaratively about good-neighborly relations essentially dig the deepest into Serbia's back whenever they have the opportunity to do so. That is why today's vote by Montenegro is for Kosovo's admission to the Council of Europe is a national shame that we will have to wash off our face," Knežević said in a statement.

He added that Serbia was against Kosovo's entry into the Council of Europe.
"And Azerbaijan and Georgia, among others, voted against it, which have more awareness and brotherly understanding than the Montenegrin quintas who would renounce their birth mothers if a decree from the embassy reached them. That is why the statement of Jakov Milatović sounds grotesque today that after Brussels he would like to visit Belgrade, because today's official and minority Montenegro determined Milatović's next destination, which is Pristina. If Jakov Milatović does not agree with today's vote of the Government of Montenegro on the admission of the so-called Kosovo to the Council of Europe, I expect him to announce himself and distance himself from of this terrorist act of the country of which he is the president," said Knežević.
He also stated that he expects that all those institutions, NGOs and independent intellectuals "whose mouths are full of songs about Kosovo at weddings and fairs," and who, as he announced, "stopped the entry of DF into the government, claiming that Serbian interests will be better defended by Dritan Abazović and experts from the FB group...
"Now is the right opportunity, when Milo Đukanović is gone, to start a campaign in our churches and monasteries to collect signatures to withdraw the decision on the recognition of the so-called state of Kosovo, because if those who defeated Đukanović in the elections think the same as we do, then the decision will be withdrawn. But I am afraid that they think the same as Đukanović, only that no one is allowed to say it publicly. That is why we are obliged to use all available democratic means to stop the further collapse and collapse of the state and its institutions until they turn into an unrecognizable ruin," he concluded. Knezevic.
