The Union of the Association of NOR Fighters and Anti-Fascists of Montenegro awaits a bright future and a continuation of the path "illuminated by the fires of the XNUMXth of July", President Andrija Nikolić said at the fifth Congress, which was attended by numerous dignitaries from political life.
"The flag of our fighter and anti-fascist organization is the banner of honor and freedom on which the double-headed eagle is pierced by bullets and the red one with a hammer and sickle in the hands of fighters of the Montenegrin proletarian brigades and the current one with a double-headed eagle," said Nikolić.

Retired general and former head of the UDBE, Jovo Kapičić, ignited the atmosphere after he criticized the government for being "soft", citing as an example the construction of a church in Rumija, which was made to "divide Albanians and Montenegrins".
"We don't need force, but we need the law. And the law is a harsh thing," said Kapičić.
"Not everyone has to be Montenegrin", but that the borders of Montenegro have to be protected "because they are blood...", Kapičić did not manage to finish the sentence because tears welled up in his eyes and his voice trembled.
SDP President Ranko Krivokapić said that he experienced the gathering emotionally: "Montenegro is lucky to build its future on anti-fascism, because that is the essence of a civil state."
The Congress was also attended by the president of the country, Filip Vujanović, who recalled the biggest battles against fascism and emphasized that July 13 is the biggest holiday because of the message to fascism that "it is only a question of when it will be defeated".
"The XNUMXth of July battle did not take place geographically in the same territory, but in terms of meaning and freedom, it represented the whole of Montenegro," said Vujanović.
The gathering was attended by representatives of delegations from Serbia, Croatia and Ukraine, as well as representatives of scouting detachments.
At the congress, the Resolution on the further development of the organization was adopted, a new anthem performed by members of the KUD choir "Stanko Dragojević" was presented, and the lyrics of partisan songs were spoken by actors Kristina Stevović and Mišo Obradović.
