The news that the junior sergeant of the Army of Montenegro, David Gorvoković, celebrates the Day of the National Flag of Albania and highlights the symbol of the "double-headed eagle" reopens the issue of double standards that dominate the public discourse in our country and region, said Democrat MP Momčilo Leković.
"It will be particularly interesting to observe the reactions of politicians on duty - critics who these days defend repression and the arrest of two of our soldiers in Kosovo because of the inscriptions on the license plates," he added.
While Montenegrin soldiers are facing repression under the pretext of "endangering public order", Gorvoković's behavior is apparently treated with much less criticism in public discourse, Leković stated in a statement sent to the media.
"Critics on duty, who now support a strict penal policy against Montenegrin citizens arrested in Kosovo, often emphasize the importance of 'neutrality' and 'democratic values'. However, in cases like Gorvoković's, these same principles completely disappear. If Gorvoković's behavior is acceptable, why do the actions of others cause the need to demonize one's own citizens? It is obvious that this is not a principled reaction, but a political agenda that is adjusted depending on the national identity that is being promoted at a given moment," the MP believes. Democrat.
He added that this is nothing new.
"These same political structures are silent as fish on the information that the active policemen during the inspection of the indictment gave moral and other support to the suspected member of the notorious Kavački clan, Zoran Lazović," said Leković.
He pointed out that it is time for Montenegro and the region to be freed from hypocritical and politically motivated interpretations of justice.
"If one attitude can be tolerated, another must not be demonized as an act of provocation. Double standards not only deepen divisions, but also undermine trust in institutions and their impartiality. Instead of selective moralizing, it is necessary to advocate consistency and equal treatment of all actions, or otherwise, we will continue to slide towards ever deeper polarization," concluded Leković.
