The President of the Municipality of Nikšić, Marko Kovačević, said that he did not show disrespect for the national anthem in any way and that he was adjusting the strap on his watch at the time it was recorded.
"I was adjusting the watch and watch strap and there was no other intention in that position," he told "Vijesta".
He assessed that "he is being hunted again" on political, national and religious grounds and believes that it has something to do with the publication of correspondence from the Sky application.
In the video that was published, then removed from the website of the President of Montenegro, it can be seen that Kovačević is holding out his middle finger during the singing of the national anthem.
Last night, Kovačević attended the celebration of 13 years of operation of the Nikšić Day Center for Children with Disabilities and Persons with Disabilities.
