The Vice President of Democratic Montenegro and the Minister of the Interior, Danilo Šaranović, said that he would support the initiative to make Serbian official in the Constitution.
"I believe that in 2007, when the Constitution was written and the issue of language in Montenegro was dealt with, an injustice was committed and there was a real basis for the Montenegrin and Serbian languages to be equal," said Saranović, guest on the TV show "Sunday in the Mirror" News.
When asked if the conditions were met, whether he would support the initiative for Serbian to be official in the Constitution, he answered "of course".
"If it's possible, but I don't think it can ever happen while the Constitution is the way it is," Saranović said.
In the Constitution, it is written that the Montenegrin language is official in Montenegro, as well as that the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets are equal. Serbian, Bosnian, Albanian and Croatian languages are also in official use.
Recently, the leader of the Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister Aleksa Bečić said that he believes that in 2007, an injustice was committed when the Serbian language was not treated the same as the Montenegrin language.
