During the debate in the Parliament of Serbia on Montenegro due to tonight's adoption of the Law on Freedom of Religion, the ruling majority emphasized that the problems must be solved peacefully, while part of the opposition resented Serbia's "lukewarm reaction", and there was almost an incident as the MP The Serbian radical party was reprimanded.
The radicals demanded that Serbia do "everything it can" to help the Serbs in Montenegro and to address the Security Council of the United Nations (UN).
The deputy of the Serbian Radical Party (SRS) Miljan Damjanović was indignant because the deputy of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) Aleksandar Marković said that he "can say" that "the regime of Milo Đukanović is Ustasha", but that the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, "must not" and that his words carry weight, and the Government of Serbia and the President must carefully take care of their actions so as not to complicate the already difficult position of the Serbs in Montenegro.
"Whether or not Aleksandar Vučić has the strength or the will to say what is happening in Montenegro, and you calling Milo's regime Ustasha is complete nonsense, the president has the right..." said Damjanović, and the chairman Miroljub Arsić he interrupted him.
Although the chairman turned off his microphone, Damjanović continued to speak from his seat, and Arsić issued him a warning.
Damjanović angrily walked towards the chairman and asked him if he might want to throw him out of the hall and arrest him, as the "Milogors" do.
However, the situation calmed down and Damjanović returned to his post, and when the President of the Assembly, Maja Gojković, took over the presidency, at the request of the head of the SNS parliamentary group, Aleksandar Martinović, she withdrew the reprimand.
"Remove the warning to MP Damjanović, we won't bring anything to the Serbs in Montenegro if we progressives and radicals start fighting here," said Martinović, after which Gojković withdrew the warning.
He said that the "scenario" in Montenegro and Republika Srpska is the same: "That we Serbs grab each other's throats, and the fact is that there is only one alliance in the area, and you know which one, and that he comes and says: 'Here now peace !' ".
Martinović said that the government in Serbia, as well as those who criticize the actions of the local government due to the events in Montenegro, wish the Serbian people and the church in Montenegro well.
He noted that, according to the Constitution, the Government of Serbia conducts foreign policy and said that the SNS MPs have full confidence in the Government and the President of Serbia that "they will do everything possible that is provided for by the Constitution to protect the legitimate rights of the Serbian people in Montenegro."
He said that he believes that the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Russian Orthodox Church will also react.
Serbian Defense Minister Aleksandar Vulin said that nothing that happens or has happened in Montenegro to the Republika Srpska cannot be without consequences in Belgrade, and accused "foreigners" of wanting to divide the Serbs.
"Let's pay attention together to what is happening: Is it a coincidence that at the same time in Montenegro and Banja Luka, the citizens whom we experience as the closest to us are facing each other in almost the same scenario? Do you think that by chance the scenes in Banja Luka are mirrored by those in Podgorica? Do you think that this is not being done in order to transfer exactly that to Belgrade?" asked Vulin.
He said that "it is not by chance" that it is serious and that the goal is "conflicts between Serbs" and that it "ends in Belgrade in the end".
"We have to do everything in our power to prevent it from happening, and not let it spill over into Belgrade. If it spills over into Belgrade, it will happen not because Serbs want it, but because foreigners want it," said Vulin.
The MP of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) Neđo Jovanović said that it is good that the Assembly can hear concern for Serbs.
He noted that the government in Serbia "knows well what the situation is in Montenegro", and that the problem must be solved peacefully and by legal means, and that the authorities fight for the people not only in Montenegro, but also in the Republic of Srpska and Kosovo, and wherever there are Serbs.
