Abazovic begs good reports with Serbia: There were more Serbs in Kosovo government than in us

Abazovic stated that the actualisation of the question whether there are “Djukanovic's “people in the new Montenegrin government or that those working for Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq signal that “everything is in order with the new ministers”, the Serbian medium reports, B92

He similarly commented on the assessment that the Montenegrin government is composed of the Serbian Orthodox Church or that the coalition and the party led by it, (URA) are the largest “election beneficiary”.

Every day the number of people who are willing to hear such propaganda decreases. These are fish tricks on dry land. When you catch a fish and put it on a ship, it fights for a while longer for air, to get back to the sea, but then it just ends up on the barbecue”, Abazovic said.

When asked how political co-existence works with President Djukanovic, Abazovic said the reform process is slow because previous authorities “made laws for themselves, as if they would govern for 100 years” and that there has been no measurement between the government and the president so far.

Abazovic also estimated that “national firework was used everywhere in the region to hide the interests of individual political acts and that he insisted on controlling the security sector because Serbia did not reform the security services, the military and police after 5 October.

This is our lesson from Serbia after 5 October. I just wouldn't want the black scenario from Serbia repeated. We should not allow that scenario to repeat and that (security) structures to stand at the same level. (They) were one of the system's central points (Milo Djukanovic)”, Abazovic said, alluding to the murder of then Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic.

He added that the security sector is the “obsolutely necessary” to dismantle the former “system and that it would be ethical for people who are not part of those plans to resign.

He added that he personally believes Montenegro needs its version of the operation “Sabre”, who followed that murder (of Djindjic), was not to be accomplished.

“A need our sword, I think there will be a lot of material here, but since it's 2020 and we've entered the integration process, it can be resolved in a way that won't be revolutionary, but we don't want to shoot witches and there won't be any defense of<18x1>, Abazovic said.

Montenegro's deputy prime minister also stated that the country does not have any state with which it is more connected than Serbia, and he added that it felt bad that relations between the two sides have come to a low level and that the government in which it participates would have to start “from pre-”.

“As nations, we will not start over. We want the best possible relations with Serbia. Montenegro is evidently smaller (than Serbia), but no one should question its pride and dignity. You know there were more Serbs in the Kosovo government. I think nationality shouldn't be a reference, but if anyone can do the job”, Abazovic said.

He also said that both sides “will soon have to start organising bilateral visits and that in order to start rebuilding relations, Serbia must hand over Svetozar Marovovic, the former head of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro, to Montenegrin authorities.
