The pro-Russian party, Democratic Front, pointed out that the current parliament majority in Montenegro has “ceased to exist”, warning of a potential boycott and deepen the government crises that might take the country to snap elections.
Representatives from the party emphasized that “voting in favor for the resolution on Srebrenica, which did not occur even at the Bosnia’s parliament, harms the people of Serbia and the Serbian Republic”.
The decision also frustrated authorities in Belgrade, with Vucic addressing the Serbs in Montenegro by stating that the “resolution goes against Serbian interests”, however urging them “to keep the head up”.
Meanwhile, Serbia’s Interior Minister, Aleksandar Vulin, proposed barring entry in Serbia to Montenegrin lawmakers that voted for the resolution.
It was the Prime Minister of Montenegro, Zdravko Krivokapic, who suggested to discharge justice minister, Vladimir Leposavic for his remarks on Srebrenica, after the latter refused to resign.
Krivokapic added that the minister must stay in line with the government’s approach to Srebrenica.
PM Krivokapic, accused the pro-Russian party of trying to topple the current government, aided by Belgrade.
Deputy Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic also responded to the accusations coming from Belgrade.
“I urge all actors to wipe out nationalism, enmity, and the past, as it has brought us no good. We’re all committed to resolving problems and changing the future. I am ready to dialogue with the colleagues and this is imperative at the moment”, Abazovic said.
Last week, the Parliament of Montenegro sacked Justice Minister Vladimir Leposavic, after denying the Srebrenica genocide, and afterward adopted a resolution prohibiting the denial of the genocide.
