The session of the Committee for International Relations and Emigrants, where an opinion was to be given on the proposal of the Government of Montenegro to appoint Nebojša Đoković as ambassador of Montenegro in Belgrade and Bernard Čobaj in Priština, was cancelled.
The President of that Committee, Duško Stjepović (Democrats), said that he made this decision because a member of the Committee from among the ruling majority has not yet been elected.
Djokovic is a candidate from the New Serbian Democracy (NSD) party quota. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the Airport of Montenegro, and he also worked as an economic advisor to the Association of Banks of Montenegro.
Montenegro has been without an ambassador to Serbia since February 2021, when then-President Milo Đukanović issued decrees recalling several diplomats, including the previous ambassador to Serbia, Tarzan Milošević.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MVP) requested the impeachment of him and six other ambassadors because, as they stated in the explanation, they did not work in the interest of the state.
The then president Milo Đukanović initially refused to sign the revocations, claiming that the MFA's proposals were not accompanied by explanations.
Stanica Popović, who succeeded Predrag Mitrović, is in charge of affairs.
Čobaj was the chargé d'affaires at the embassy in Pristina.
According to the Law on Foreign Affairs, politically appointed ambassadors can make up a maximum of 30 percent of the heads of diplomatic and consular missions.
