Vraneš: Why does PES irritate the academy on the occasion of the nationwide uprising of our ancestors

The President of the Municipality of Pljevlja, Dario Vraneš, said that he does not understand why the European Movement is now "irritating" the academy on the occasion of, as he said, a "national uprising of our ancestors".

He told Portal RTCG that "many peoples cherish traditions, respect their ancestors who freed them from various occupiers", reports that media.

"The academy is on the occasion of the beginning of the second Serbian uprising, in which tens and hundreds of our ancestors from the Pljeval region participated. There is no family in the Pljeval region from which someone did not start the Karađorđe uprising. I do not understand the understanding of my colleagues from PES, why they are irritated by the academy on the occasion of a nationwide the uprising of our ancestors. It's as if you are condemning the academy because of the day of victory over fascism," said Vraneš.

He also said "as if someone in Montenegro, unfortunately, is still bothered by everything Serbian".

"If they don't mind the celebration of Halloween, various new years, I don't know what the problem is when the majority of Serbian people in Pljevlja celebrate their ancestors," added Vraneš.

The municipality of Pljevlja is organizing an academy on the occasion of the 220th anniversary of the First Serbian Uprising and the 189th anniversary of the Constitution of Sretenje.
