Miloš Spaić, a member of the Right of Montenegro, said that the interest of the European Union is not more important than the interest of Montenegro and it will never be, and that we will deal with ourselves because only a stable, free, state of justice can move forward, and we want just such a state.
Spaić said this on the occasion of the statement of the special envoy of the European Union for the Western Balkans, Miroslav Lajčak, who said that he expects Montenegro to focus less on itself and more on the European agenda.
"When a country is a member of the European Union, it means that it transfers part of its sovereignty to the European Union, but this does not mean that the only important interests become the interests of the European Union," stated in the statement of Prava Montenegro.

As Spaić says, the European Union is, at least according to its founding acts, an alliance of sovereign states, where each of them should have a voice and decide on various topics based on the interests of their state and people.
"But apparently you, Mr. Lajčak, are promoting, or rather revealing, another, less popular and beautiful face of the EU, where the only important thing is the interest of the European Union," Spaić pointed out.
Spaić adds that then it is no longer democracy, nor the sovereignty of states, "nor the freedom of the people that you like to wave and boast about".
"Why did the European Union, Mr. Lajčak, when Hungary refused to adopt the proposed sanctions against Russia, due to the interests of Hungary and the Hungarian people, the effect was to introduce measures against them to force them to do as Brussels ordered them to do," Spaić asked.
As he says, "it is not equality or sovereignty, but a certain type, some would say dictatorship, but I will be gentle and I will say coercion, to put the interests of the European Union above the interests of the state".
"The same would be true of you, Mr. Lajčak, in Montenegro. Montenegro is part of Europe, but if you expect the interest of the European Union to be above the interest of Montenegro, it will not be possible," claims Spaić.
Spaić also told Lajčak that sometimes it is good to be honest, and that they respect you more.
"When it comes to honesty, you, Mr. Lajčak, openly supported the replaced DPS regime in Montenegro, so it seems difficult for you to accept that there has been a change in our country, just as it seems difficult for you to admit that the EU is ready for certain changes," said Spaić.
"You must know that, at least for us in Montenegro, freedom and justice have no price," the announcement concludes.
