The foreign ministry in Montenegro refused to go ahead with the Serbian Embassy’s request to open up 3 polling stations during the Serbian elections set to take place on April 3.

According to an announcement posted this Monday by PM Krivokapic’s press office, Montenegro’s foreign ministry had decided to refuse the Serbian Embassy’s request without notifying the country’s prime minister or the majority of ministers in his cabinet.

In addition, they said that the government led by Mr. Krivokapic, has yet to make a decision regarding the issue of opening up a polling station in Montenegro, where Serbian citizens would have a chance to vote in their home country’s election.

Pro-Serbian party the Democratic Front, criticized PM Zdravko Krivakapic and minister Đorđe Radulović regarding this decision, by saying that they are trying to prevent Serbian citizens from exercising their right to vote.

“This is simply a continuation of anti-Serbian politics. This is especially true if we keep in mind that days ago, deputy PM Dritan Abazovic asked Serbia’s president Alexandar Vucic for wheat and corn. In addition, we should remind them about their anti-COVID vaccines that came from none other than Serbia,” – read the notice posted by the Democratic Front.

Meanwhile, during the meeting of the National Security Council, Serbia’s president iterated what sounded like a threat saying that “Montenegro will get Serbia’s answer on Tuesday and it’ll come with a wide range of consequences”.
