"I absolutely do not support any statements that have the potential to intensify the already pronounced divisions in Montenegro and I believe they have no place in modern Montenegro," Milojko Spajić, Prime Minister of Montenegro, announced today.

He told reporters in Bar, answering a question about his view of the message from Metropolitan Joanikije of Montenegro and the Littoral, that Chetnik duke and war criminal Pavle Đurišić was a "great hero of invincible character" and whether he considers that assessment to be a revision of history and whether he condemns it.

"The state needs to move forward, European integration is ahead of us. We expect to join the European Union in 2028. We have a large investment cycle ahead of us. Montenegro is a secular state, so I fully advocate and support the separation of church and state, church and politics, church and history, religion and history, religion and politics," said Spajić.

Today, he attended the laying of the cornerstone for the construction of a kindergarten in Bar.
