After independence, first visit to Belgrade
15:55 April 25 | Beta
PODGORICA -- Miodrag Vlahovic said that his first official visit will be to Belgrade once Montenegro gains independence.
The Montenegrin Foreign Affairs Minister said that, in a televised debate regarding the relations between Belgrade and Podgorica, he hopes that Serbian officials will accept him at this time, in order to talk about further relations between the two independent states.
He said that the claims of the parties who support the preservation of the federal union that relations between Serbia and Montenegro will be poor if Montenegro gains independence, are not true.
Officials who support the union, National Party official Dragan Soc and Serbian National Party official Goran Danilovic, said that relations are poor between Serbia and Montenegro because of the anti-Serbian politics being led by the Montenegrin ruling parties.
Soc said that the Montenegrin Government is leading hateful politics against everything that is Serbian, and added that, if Montenegro gains independence, relations with Serbia will worsen and that Montenegro will be woven into the Great Albania project. He also said that if Montenegro becomes independent, visas will be imposed on Montenegrin citizens and that they will be considered foreigners in Serbia.
Liberal Party leader Milodrag Zivkovic dismissed the claims that Montenegro is leading anti-Serbian politics as “a repulsive claim.”
He said that relations will only better once independence is gained and that the eventual anger of Serbia over this will last several months, at the most.
Vlahovic and Zivkovic accused the bloc supporting the union of using the talks of visas, passports and borders to scare the Montenegrin citizens and promote fear.
According to the Montenegrin Government, there are 19,000 more registered voters in Montenegro today, in light of the May referendum, than for the parliamentary elections in 2002. Citizens have until May 10 to register if they wish to participate in the independence referendum.
