(2 years ago)Analysts estimate that the current government in Montenegro, with some actions, is politically being offered with Belgrade and Moscow's official policy. They say the secret and calm confrontation is initially taking place with its neighbours and then the West. According to them, the adoption of the resolution on genocide is also evidenced in [...]
Analysts stress that the current concept of a part of the ruling majority in Montenegro, which is politically close to Belgrade and official Moscow, is in the gradual and calm confrontation first with its neighbours and then with the West.
The adoption of the genocide resolution in Jasenovac, Montenegro's parliament, initiated by pro-Serbian and pro-Russian parties, testifies to this.
Renowned analyst Devdet Pepic sees the move as a way to escape the many current problems of society by returning to the past.
“Beyond the Jasenovac resolution, we try to deal with the past. We are a society where we are more confused with the dead than with the living. Today's Croatia has nothing to do with that tragic event, but it is easier to accuse the other one of war crimes”, Pepic says.
Even analyst and publicist Gjona Dukaj expresses the similar stance that with the actualisation of the past, it cannot move towards Montenegro's European integration.
The resolution's adoption of World War II events in Jasenovac has caused a deep shock within the political spectrum here in Montenegro. Interestingly, political structures which deal mainly with the past insist on the actualisation of many issues from the past, even though aware that with such attitudes it cannot move forward,” said Mr. Dukaj.
Analyst Dukaj says these parliamentary majority actions take place in order for Montenegro to get caught in the way of European integrations. Mr. Pepic, notes, that this resolution becomes the instrumentisation of victims for political purposes.
We are dealing more with resolutions than with vital issues for our society and the future. In dealing with the past, the dead are being instrumentalised for political purposes by bringing new divisions in the region”, analyst Pepic says.
Analysts estimate that the ruling majority is undermining Montenegro's national interests, where, among other things, could stop the integration path towards the European Union.
They estimate that the resolution is a fraud, for the fact that no one disputes genocide in Jasenovac.
Jasenovac is remembered as a concentration camp created during World War II on Croatia's territory. In Jasenovac, tens of thousands of people were killed and raped, most of whom were Serbs, Roma and Jews. / VOA
