Knežević: One of the key goals is to amend the Constitution to standardize the Serbian language and make it equal to Montenegrin.

One of the key goals of the Democratic People's Party (DNP) is to amend the Constitution of Montenegro, which would standardize the Serbian language and equate it with the Montenegrin language, announced the president of the Democratic People's Party (DNP), Milan Knežević.

The DNP announced that he made this statement during a conversation with US Congressman Scott Perry in Dallas.

"As part of their diplomatic offensive 'Let's Make Montenegro Great Again', the President of the Democratic People's Party Milan Knežević and the Vice President of the DNP Milun Zogović met in Dallas with the United States Congressman Scott Perry, with whom they discussed current political issues, as well as the possibilities of further improving cooperation and relations. During a more than cordial and friendly conversation, the President of the DNP Milan Knežević particularly emphasized the political struggle of the Democratic People's Party for the achievement of full equality of the Serbian language in Montenegro, emphasizing that one of the key goals of the DNP is to amend the Constitution of Montenegro, which would standardize the Serbian language and equate it with the Montenegrin language," the DNP statement states.

The party added that Knežević also pointed out "the problem of linguistic discrimination that has been carried out against the Serbian language in Montenegro for years, even though it is the language spoken by the largest number of Montenegrin citizens."

"The interlocutors also exchanged opinions on the importance of stronger ties between Montenegro and the United States of America, as well as the role of political representatives in the further development of bilateral relations," the DNP statement reads.
