Support for Kosovo in Council of Europe Causes Tensions in Montenegro Government

Montenegro's chief speaker, Andrija Ma exactly, has said the vote by the foreign minister of this state on the Kosovo Council of Europe issue constitutes “direct confirmation of the ruling coalition agreement”.

In a writing on social networks, New Serbian Democracy party chairman Ervin Ibrahimovic's support for Kosovo is a violation of principles set out in the coalition in Montenegro.

A day earlier, Ibrahimovic announced that at the Council of Ministers meeting he supported Kosovo's admission to the Council of Europe. But according to Mandiqi, the coalition has agreements “to work together on implementing priorities in Montenegro's foreign policy” and “to fulfil the foreign political ambitions of Kosovo Albanians”.

He persecuted me and added that such decisions are needed within the government. He has said that by this vote, reports with Serbia and Montenegro's path towards the EU are threatened. According to him, Montenegro's government must be clearly revealed with a view to voting.

Mandiqi's stance has prompted reactions by former Montenegrin Foreign Minister Miodrag Vlahovic. He has reminded Mandiqi that Montenegro recognises Kosovo as a state and states have diplomatic reports at the ambassador level.

Kosovo is a friendly state. The vote on Kosovo's admission to the Council of Europe is the most appropriate decision -- more logical, normal and more profitable -- for that state and for the entire region”, he has said.

Vlahovic has said it is meaningless that politicians favoured by Russia and servants of Serbia “lead Montenegro towards the EU”. He has said that persecution and such politicians are only aimed at Serbising Montenegro and returning to the Serb-Russian world. /Periscope/
