The resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica represents a direct attack on relations in the region and an attempt to polarize Montenegrin society, according to the president of Prava Montenegro, Marko Milačić.
He called on the Government to "resist the pressure and preserve the image, dignity and integrity of Montenegro" at the vote in the United Nations tomorrow.
"This initiative, under the guise of supposed good intentions and reconciliation, actually sows the seeds of discord and undermines the stability of Montenegro. It is clear that this resolution does not aim at truth and justice, but at deepening conflicts and imposing collective responsibility on the entire Serbian people. Today's Croatia, which claims not to the heritage of the values of the NDH, sends notes of protest due to the announcement of the Resolution on the genocide in Jasenovac, which clearly shows that such moves, like Croatia's recently expressed position, serve exclusively for political manipulation and causing tensions and divisions," said Milačić.
The resolution that will be voted on tomorrow at the General Assembly of the United Nations, he claims, does not contribute to reconciliation, "but only deepens the wounds and distances us from true peace and stability."
"On the eve of Montenegro's vote in the UN, we remind Prime Minister Spajić and the Government of Montenegro that the announced vote of Montenegro in the United Nations, the voice of our Montenegro, in Bratunac and the surrounding villages, in the Republic of Srpska, in Serbia, is viewed as in the voice of his own brother. That's why, we repeat: amendments that only smear the eyes of some are not important, amendments that look more like a silencer on a gun with which to shoot politically, and from behind, at his own brother," said Milacic.
He asked the Government if they are "aware of how hypocritical it is to deal with the resolutions on the alleged genocides of three decades ago, in a municipality in the Balkans, at a time when the merciless genocide against Muslims in Gaza is happening before the eyes of the whole world".
He said that Prava Montenegro calls for "the defense of national interests and the rejection of any attempt to introduce division into Montenegrin society."
"As a sign of solidarity with citizens who want to live with dignity without political manipulations and according to other people's interests and dictates, we will be tonight in front of the Government building, at the announced protest, to once again call on the Government of Montenegro to resist pressure and save face tomorrow at the UN, dignity and integrity of Montenegro," Milacic concluded.
