Perović: The army to reject commands and orders that are against the public interest

The director of the ecological movement Ozone, Aleksandar Perović, said that the army should not defend the interests of Defense Minister Predrag Bošković, but the interests of the citizens.

He said this at today's performance of the Coalition for Sustainable Development (KOR) in front of the Ministry of Defense. The protest was organized because they wanted to tell Bošković that they would to defend the pastures of Sinjajevina from his plan.

"The army should defend the interests of the citizens. You should not defend the interests of losers like Minister Bošković, who lost the most important battle he had, the task from the President of the country, Milo Đukanović, to win the elections. He lost. Don't listen to the loser. You you have the right under the law to refuse commands and orders given to you that are against the public interest. This is a classic order against the public interest. You cannot bomb an area that means life to people and has potentially great development potential and should simply be a nature park."

He said that he felt called out because Boškovic "sent a message to environmental non-governmental organizations to organize themselves, to go up there and attend some exercises."

"I came in front of the Ministry to accredit myself to tell him that he should leave, this way of communicating with citizens is humiliating. And if he thinks he can communicate with us like that, I think he is completely mistaken. I think that the message should have sent their partners, the blacksmith and skalja clan, so let them come to them, let them get accredited and let them teach mortars in the 21st century to shoot each other, that if they want to eliminate themselves for the cocaine trade, let them go and directly influence each other, and not for collateral victims to be innocent people, honest citizens in Montenegro. We are here today, we have accredited ourselves publicly, we have said everything we think, we are telling him - let him go from Montenegro, let him go there to some village where he is from came to Pljevlja to breathe the air, where they abused the citizens of Pljevlja. Now is the season in the age of the coronavirus, where they will die even more because they did not solve the most basic issues," said Perović and continued.

"If he thinks he can humiliate us, we will humiliate him more. He deserves it. All those outgoing personnel deserve to be smeared. Yesterday he said that actually our initiative aims to smear him - so I personally came here to I tell him - I will slander him as long as I live. We should slander him. Should we stop what they did for 30 years? Should we forget how far they brought us? Should we forget that the people who should live in Sinjajevina from honest work, honest people who they leave their villages, raise, live there for half a year, struggle to survive, to educate their children? Do they need to be hit by the outgoing government? You have these criminals, tycoons, so hit them if you can. Now tell the truth when you leave, honestly and I invite him to be a cooperating witness because I know that he was a minister of various departments, so let him tell what he experienced. And let him tell where he lost his credit card and wallet in SC Morača when they returned it to him when he was the director of the Coal Mine. Better about talking, but about Sinjajevina," concluded Perović.
