Vučić said he would not attend a "glamorous celebration" in Montenegro: I would be ashamed, I would spit in my own and my people's faces

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said today that he has received an invitation to participate in the "glamorous celebration" of the 20th anniversary of Montenegro's independence, the Belgrade newspaper Danas reported on its website.

"But I will not go to a glamorous celebration of secession from my Serbia. I would be ashamed, and I would spit in my own and my people's faces, and let them celebrate whatever they want," said Vučić, answering questions from journalists at the construction site of the Expo exhibition.

Vučić said that he saw that a glamorous celebration was being prepared in Montenegro, that Ricky Martin was coming.

"But what is actually being celebrated - secession from Serbia is being celebrated. I could say a lot about the incompetence of our leadership from that period. I see that they are very happy that they left the Serbs and Serbia, I wish them all the best," Vučić said, as reported by Danas.

He said that "as strange as it is, it is neither strange nor surprising that Europe does not insist on the right to use the Serbian language in Montenegro, but insists on everything else."

"Let them continue their work, I wish them all the happiness in the world, and may Serbia move forward and achieve great feats in the economic progress of our country," said Vučić.

As reported by the Beta agency, he said that he is certain that both Serbs and other citizens of Montenegro will "always feel Serbia as a brotherly country."
