Like most citizens of Montenegro, I feel very good in Serbia, which is very close to us, I have never lived in Serbia. I stayed in Singapore, Japan, France, I was always on a work and school visa... My permanent stay was always connected to Montenegro, said Milojko Spajić, the leader of the Europe Now Movement, in a guest appearance on Vijesti at 7:30 on Television Vijesti.

He answered this when asked if he has dual citizenship, i.e. citizenship of Serbia.

He stated that one of the conditions for running for president is to have the citizenship that he has.

"I checked the place of residence at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs claims that I also have this condition fulfilled, so I would not go into any more details. We know that in the past we had candidates who were outside of Montenegro for a certain number of years and no one asked such a question." , Spajić said.

He added that it is positive for the position of the President of Montenegro that someone has spent more time outside of Montenegro.

Spajić said that he expects support from civic and minority parties in the parliamentary elections.

Asked if he would hypothetically support Democratic Front candidate Andrija Mandić, if he entered the second round of the presidential elections, he answered:

"I completely exclude that possibility. We are going for victory, maybe even in the first round, so maybe the second round won't happen," said Spajić.

He told TV Vijesti that "Montenegro 2030." vision of a European, modern, civil, united Montenegro.

"The first step on that path was the "Europe Now" economic program, and the second should be the "Europe Now 2" program, which should have already been implemented, but was not due to political circumstances. This will be the next step on the way." "Montenegro 2030," Spajić said.

When asked whether, if he had the opportunity, he would cancel the decision on the recognition of Kosovo, he answered:

"I'm not sure that Serbia demands that from us now. I think that our full focus is on European integration, the foreign policy direction is completely determined. We will not even move the center from that one direction. These are topics that are behind us, we need to look to the future ...", stated Spajić.
