Serbian-Russian influence in Montenegro, Zeta municipality initiated declaration for attracting recognition of Kosovo

According to this party, the requirement will be considered at the next session of the State Municipal Assembly, while the initials voiced confidence that it will pass. Possible approval would lead to a ridiculous situation in which the Community opposes the State decision.

“We strongly supported the decision of the municipal councilors' group ʹto the future of Zetaʹ, headed by the Democratic Front for the adoption of a statement in the upcoming session of the State Assembly for annulment and worthlessness of the decision to recognise the so-called state of Kosovo in the territory of Zeta”, said in the document provided by Kosovo's Democratic People's Party.

Montenegro's Democratic People's Party says that recognising Kosovo's independence “is contrary to Montenegro's national interests and most of its citizens, according to them, this is “an foreign and traitoral policy directed against Montenegro's interests and the nearest state in the region Serbia”.

From this party say that after the Zeta Council adopts this declaration, the same should adopt other municipalities, and thus “begin the process of Montenegro's return to its historical and spiritual sources” from Serbia.

Following victory in last year's local elections and the election of Jakov Milatovic as new party president “Europe now” supported by these forces, by security and policy connoisseurs, was warned that Montenegro's pro-Western orientation, a NATO member, could change.

The Zeta municipality, which has about 20,000 residents -- most of the Serb minority in Montenegro -- became the municipality only last year with the outgoing president Milo Djukanovic's decision.
