Muratović: Kovačević is trying to legitimize himself as a reconciler, he cannot erase the memory of citizens

The President of the Municipality of Nikšić, Marko Kovačević (New Serbian Democracy, NSD), while unsuccessfully trying to legitimize himself as a reconciler, forgets that he does not have an eraser with which he can erase the memory of the citizens of Nikšić and Montenegro, announced the President of the Nikšić board of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), Boris Muratović.

"It is clear that Kovačević, following in the footsteps of his leader, Chetnik duke Andrija Mandić, is trying to sell the story of how he strongly advocates reconciliation," he pointed out, adding that, however, citizens who do not think ideologically and politically like Kovačević know that not so long ago he wanted to 'reconcile' by calling for dealing with dissenters as they would with Turks."

As he said, Kovačević cannot qualify himself as a reconciler, as he "saw off the national anthem with an outstretched middle finger, who today, in the style of a political hypocrite, calls for a joint celebration of May 21st, towards which he has, as he said, a different emotional relationship, and who held his mentor Aleksandar Vučić accountable before the parliamentary committee in Serbia, emphasizing that another country, not Montenegro, is his home."

"Everything that Kovačević is announcing today is not a turn in the political activities of the NSD, which does not recognize the 2006 Referendum on the Independence of Montenegro, which still openly works against the interests of an independent, upright Montenegro, and at the expense of some other centers of power, but is transparent cellophane in which they are trying to package nationalist politics with the desire, based on such a deception, to keep him and Andrija Mandić in their seats for a few more days," he said.

Muratović emphasizes that they have no intention of educating or reshaping Kovačević, who, probably, "just like Andrija Mandić, will not congratulate Independence Day this year either", but that "they have an obligation to point out the danger of the policy pursued by the party to which he belongs, which is aimed at the disappearance of a civic and anti-fascist Montenegro".

"In the end, in Nikšić at least things were always called by their right name - when a policy works against the best interests of Montenegro and when it works to dismantle the core of this state, to make it disappear, to make it non-existent - that was called treason, and such policies always ended up where they only belong - on the political margins and the garbage dump of history," concludes the DPS official.
