Đuričković: Brnabić admitted Serbia's interference in the elections in Montenegro, MVP to react

European Union official Miloš Đuričković assessed that the statement by the Speaker of the Serbian Parliament, Ana Brnabić, that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić helped the Montenegrin authorities come to power is an admission of Serbia's interference in the internal affairs of Montenegro and called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) to react.

Brnabić previously, responding to criticism from Montenegrin Prime Minister Milojko Spajić, said that Vučić was good to them when he needed to help them come to power, and that now he is Russia's PR.

"In any normal country or region, let alone the European Union, if a high-ranking state official publicly admitted to interfering in the internal affairs of another country, to directly interfering in the electoral process in another country, that would be a scandal of the greatest possible proportions," Đuričković said in a post on Iks.

In his opinion, if that state values ​​itself and its independence, this would entail a series of measures aimed at protecting its independence, including for the competent authorities to open an investigation into the interference of another state in its internal affairs, and the identification and prosecution of those responsible.

"If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were doing its job, it would summon the Serbian ambassador for talks, hand him a note of protest and take all other actions and measures. It would also redefine its foreign policy towards official Belgrade and announce it publicly, all with the aim of protecting the independence, dignity and interests of the state," said Đuričković.

He emphasized that this would be done by a state that is what it is, that has institutions, statesmen, and that values ​​its independence and dignity.

"This is how we will watch the online bickering between high-ranking officials of one and the other state, competing to see who can get the better of them. In reality, the status quo remains on the ground, i.e. the collapse of the system. When our officials get angry, they resemble Mladen from the Šuković brothers' sketch comedy. It's not that Brnabić's stance is a revelation, but that's how it would be in a normal world, a normal state, headed by statesmen with a minimum of integrity," concluded the European Union official.
