Vučević on Spajić's announcement that Montenegro will vote for the resolution: I don't see this as a friendly gesture

"I think that the decision of the Government of Montenegro, as well as some others who live in the region, shows what kind of relationship they have towards Serbia. With such a decision by Montenegro, they will essentially throw away at least a third of the population of Montenegro who declare themselves as Serbs," said the Prime Minister of Serbia

I do not see this as a friendly gesture of a friendly country, said Prime Minister of Serbia Miloš Vučević, commenting on the fact that Prime Minister of Montenegro Milojko Spajić said that Montenegro will vote in the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) for the Resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica.

"Montenegro is our closest country, and when I say closest I mean historically, culturally, nationally and nationally. We are the closest countries, I don't want to say identical peoples, two countries where Serbs live in large numbers. This is something that cannot go without comment that it will damage the relationship between us, but the Government of Montenegro is leading their independent policy," said Vučević in a guest appearance on Pink Television.

"It is not up to us and we have no right to tell them how to work, they evaluate their political interests, but they must be aware that with this move and this announcement they are not doing anything good in relation to the relations between the two countries," said Vucevic.

He said that he wrote to Spajić "let's see your friendly policy towards us in action".

"We Serbs must understand the pain of Bosniaks and the suffering of other nations, a terrible crime took place in Srebrenica, just as Bosniaks must understand our pain for the victims in Bratunac, or our pain for the expulsion of over 100 thousand Serbs in Sarajevo," he said. Vucevic.

He said that Serbia does not want to go back and bury itself in the past.

"We want to preserve the politics of memory, and to have that relationship with our heroes and victims. I think that the decision of the Government of Montenegro, as well as some others who live in the region, shows what kind of relationship they have towards Serbia. With such a decision by Montenegro they will essentially throw away at least a third of the population of Montenegro who declare themselves as Serbs. I hope that Montenegro is aware of the decision it is making," said Vučević.

He said that all citizens of Serbia must understand what is behind this, and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić also spoke about this.

"Next will be a lawsuit against Serbia that we committed genocide, they will try to renew court proceedings before international courts, and to demand war reparations from us because according to them we committed genocide, we now have international recognition in the UN that we committed genocide in Srebrenica It is interesting that it is not genocide in another part of the world when something happens ten times worse, that what happened in the Second World War is not genocide, Jasenovac is not genocide, but what happened in one municipality in one municipality is genocide. , Vucevic said.

He said that dark clouds are hanging over Serbia.

"But we have to be ready to deal with it with a bright spirit and a strong will," said Vucevic.
