Čobi: Leković should read the law before making meaningless statements

Albanian Forum MP Artan Čobi said that the double standards referred to by Democratic Montenegro MP Momčilo Leković "come only from his side".

Čobi reacted to the allegations of Leković, who said that the news that the junior sergeant of the Army of Montenegro, David Gorvoković, celebrated the Day of the National Flag of Albania and highlighted the symbol of the "double-headed eagle" reopens the issue of double standards that dominate public discourse in the country and the region.

Čobi stated that Leković "equates the use of national symbols of Albanians with deliberate outpourings of hatred by members of the Montenegrin army". He reminded Lekovic that the double standards he refers to, "in this case, come only from his side".

"In fact, Albanians are allowed by law to use national symbols, and the double-headed eagle is one of them, and it is also a symbol of other nations, and no one has ever connected it with the spread of hatred or anything negative. On the other hand, the departure of the soldiers, in addition to on sick leave, in another country with inscriptions that undermine ethnic harmony, I cannot put them on the same level," Cobi said.

He invited Leković to read some articles of the law that were voted in the Parliament of Montenegro.

"And who arranges the area of ​​use of national symbols, and if he does not agree with them, let him start the procedure for changing them, and we will see what support he has. Finally, I suggest to my respected colleague to announce the events in the Municipality of Pljevlja, and what kind of messages are sent, and such a local government is supported by his party," Čobi concluded.
