Serbian diplomacy believes that Montenegro's statement confirms the thesis of a hybrid war against Serbia

"Serbia has no pretensions towards Montenegro, which the majority of our country's citizens respect and love, nor does it question its statehood, but Serbia and its representatives have every right to point out phenomena that disrupt good neighborly relations," the statement said.

The Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced last night that it had taken note of the statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro and assessed that it represents "confirmation of the hybrid nature of the actions of certain circles in Montenegro towards the political life of Serbia."

"Instead of such harsh and essentially unprovoked statements, public name-calling and attempts to silence, clearly aimed at inappropriately influencing the political life of Serbia, we believe that it would be more beneficial for the relations between the two neighboring states if all issues were resolved through institutional dialogue and diplomatic channels," the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

"Serbia has no pretensions towards Montenegro, which the majority of our country's citizens respect and love, nor does it question its statehood, but Serbia and its representatives have every right to point out phenomena that disrupt good neighborly relations, including the continuous creation of an atmosphere in which Serbia is presented as a problem, and increasingly as a convenient excuse for internal political failures," the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated.

They added that, instead of attempting to belittle and silence, it would be more useful for the two states to jointly address issues that are of real interest to the citizens of both countries - economic cooperation, infrastructure connectivity, freedom of movement of people, and strengthening mutual trust.

"Serbia will, as before, pursue a responsible and serious policy towards Montenegro, expecting that the same principles of respect and appreciation will be applied towards Serbia," the statement concludes.

Previously, yesterday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro rejected Aleksandar Vučić's claims that Montenegro was waging a hybrid war against Serbia and that support for the "colored revolution", as the Serbian authorities call the student protests, was coming from it.
