The leader and MP of the Democratic People's Party (DNP), Milan Knežević, responded to the President of the Republic, Jakov Milatović, saying that he would leave power "when they hit a single person from Botunja or Zeća."
"Since you called on me to leave power, let me send you a message. The first time they hit a resident of Botunja or Zeća, Milan Knežević will leave power. And I ask you, will you leave power if they hit a resident of Botunja or Zeća," Knežević said in a video he posted on Facebook.
He visited locals who oppose the construction of a wastewater treatment plant in Botun.
He invited Milatović to come to "Ujčevina" to "defend their right to a healthy environment with the honorable and honest people."
In the second recording, Knežević also addressed the performers from Turkey.
"The people of Zeća and Botunja are neither Kurds nor Armenians, this is our land. This land was protected by our great-grandfathers, grandfathers, 500 meters from here we preserved the spirituality and statehood of Montenegro, holding Bishop Danilo on our shoulders. We defended the border from Turkey, we defended the border whenever we needed to take a rifle in our hands and defend the image of Montenegro. This time, we will peacefully, through passive resistance, do what we know will make our ancestors proud of us, and our children will remember us well," he said.
