Montenegro refused to open three locations, Vuciq: Big Consequences Ahead

The April 3rd Serbian elections became a topic in Montenegro last days. The issue has ended after the Montenegrin Foreign Ministry agreed yesterday to keep them at embassies and consulates.

This was announced last night by Montenegrin Foreign Affairs Minister Djordje Radulovic in an interview for “Vijetti”.

Vladimir Bozovic, Serbia's ambassador to Podgorica, had earlier said he expects the Montenegrin Foreign Ministry to change its decision to reject the Serbian Embassy's request for the opening of three additional polling stations (in Berana, Budva and Sutomore) for holding Serbian elections.

The three additional seats, demanded by Serbia, concerned the vote of displaced Serbs from Kosovo to Montenegro.

Radulovic said the Montenegrin MPJ “has responded positively to the Serbian Embassy's demands, but that it has rejected the requirement for opening additional locations.

Serbia's President Aleksandar Vuciq warned “major consequences to Montenegro after the negative response in terms of opening additional locations.

In this case, the National Security Council of Serbia met yesterday.

The Montenegrin government banned the vote in Berane and other countries for our elections. Kurti's government demanded that we recognise Kosovo's independence to organise elections. Montenegro, as well as Albin Kurti, will receive answers”, Vuciq said.
