By passing the resolution on Jasenovac, the current government of Montenegro is performing the "dirty tasks" of the government in Belgrade, said the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro, Ranko Krivokapić.
On the sidelines of the Dubrovnik Forum, he declared the government in Podgorica "the third government of the Church of Serbia", stressing that Montenegro is "more than ever" dependent on Belgrade and the "Serbian-Russian world in the worst sense" of that term, Hina agency reports.
The President of the Parliament of Montenegro, Andrija Mandić, suggested that the proposed resolution on the genocide in Jasenovac be included in the agenda today.
Krivokapić believes that Podgorica is thereby "doing a dirty job for the Serbian will", stressing that Montenegro did not pass a resolution on the Serbian annexation of Montenegro, on the Christmas uprising which "in proportion to the population had many times more victims than Croatia in the Homeland War", nor on the escape of the Serbian army while Montenegro "guarded its back at Mojkovac", whereby Serbia "destroyed the statehood of Montenegro".
"Instead of those resolutions, we adopt the resolution on Jasenovac" and it is clear that this is a way to open a new front with Croatia at the wish of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, under whose rule Serbia did not adopt such a document.
The current government in Belgrade is "committing the biggest robbery of Serbia" in the history of that country, Krivokapić emphasized.
"Unrest in the region is being exported in order to continue the great robbery of Serbia" and the region, Krivokapić pointed out.
During a recent visit to Tivat, the Croatian Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, Gordan Grlić Radman, said that the resolution on Jasenovac was unacceptable and meaningless to Zagreb, and pointed out that "Montenegro should face its own history, if it is inclined to resolutions".
The draft resolution states, among other things, that Serbs, Jews, Roma, Croats and other peoples were tortured and killed in the camp in Jasenovac from 1941 to 1945. It is proposed that April 22, when the camp was disbanded in 1945, become the "Jasenovac Genocide Remembrance Day" that would be celebrated in Montenegro every year.
With its adoption, the populist "Europe Now Movement" of Prime Minister Milojko Spajić should appease and satisfy the pro-Russian and pro-Serb part of the ruling structure in Montenegro, after his government supported the Resolution on Srebrenica in the UN. And his representatives signed the resolution.
They say to the proponents that they are united in condemning all crimes on the soil of Montenegro and the former Yugoslavia, stressing that responsibility can be exclusively individual and that no nation can be considered genocidal or criminal.
In the proposed Resolution on Jasenovac, it was also stated that "the Assembly of Montenegro condemns any denial of the genocide in Jasenovac and calls for the preservation of the memory of those tragic events through educational programs and activities that will prevent any form of revisionism".
The adoption of the Resolution requires the support of 41 representatives out of a total of 81 in the parliament.
