Vučić: Montenegro banned my son from entering for three years

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić today, during a visit to the southwest of the country, also mentioned the former ban on his son's entry into Montenegro.

"Do you know that my son was expelled, or banned from entering, for three years?" Vučić said, as reported by Blic.

Vučić began his visit by touring the Dubnica Monastery in Nova Varoš, where he was welcomed by Metropolitan of Milesevo of the Serbian Orthodox Church Atanasije and the President of the Municipality of Nova Varoš Branko Bjelić.

Atanasije said on that occasion that the entire 5,5 kilometer Mileševski Put road would be finished.

"From Pljevlja Interchange to Jabuka and part to Kamena Gora and Kolovrat - Seljašnica, we will also finish," said Vučić.

The construction of a cultural center in Pljevlja was also mentioned, to which Vučić said that perhaps we should talk to the mayor there, "and we are ready to help."

"They are Europe now, there are no problems with them, the problems are only with us," Vučić said, alluding to Montenegro, as reported by Blic.

On November 5, 2021, the Police Directorate announced that the ban on entry into Montenegro had been lifted for 18 foreigners who had been banned from entering the country despite the lack of legal grounds for doing so. The public service announced that day that Danilo Vučić was among those whose ban had been lifted.

Two days later, Belgrade's Danas newspaper announced that Danilo Vučić had been banned from entering Montenegro "due to his connections with fan groups and extremely radical nationalist groups and individuals, as well as his connections with security-sensitive individuals and criminal structures." The newspaper also announced that the ban had been in effect since March 2020.

Vučić then stated that he did not know that his son had been banned from entering Montenegro, nor that the two of them had ever been officially informed about it. He then assessed that it was possible that they did it because his son had been to the processions twice, and that perhaps someone wanted to show how they would treat the Serbian president.
