Democratic Montenegro MP Momčilo Leković said that that party and he cannot be blamed for any kind of nationalism, as well as the application of double standards when it comes to respect for human rights.

He responded to the deputy of the Albanian Forum, Artan Cobi, who had previously called on him to read the law "before making meaningless statements".

"The case of the soldier displaying the symbol of the 'double-headed eagle', the example of which I pointed out as the best confirmation of the double arshins when it comes to the condemnation or silence of the same depending on the presumed nation of a man. The law you refer to, colleague Chobi, is the worst argument you could have mentioned," said Lekovic.

He also stated that the law must be understood and interpreted, "and not just read, because otherwise anyone could apply it".

"I am sure that you previously read the Law on the Choice of Use and Public Display of National Symbols, and did not just sign the statement. Colleague Čoba, I remind you that soldier Gorvoković in the Montenegrin uniform during his service represents the state of Montenegro, and not any national minority, and in any case, even if he was there as a representative of a national minority, which we do not know and are not interested in, this Law you are referring to cannot be applied outside the borders of our country," concluded Leković.
