Parliament Speaker Andrija Mandic “deserved” the attention of the public because of his attitude towards the Montenegrin flag, which he first has and then does not have in his cabinet, but also because of the emphasis on the tricolor flag. In an interview for CdM, lawyer Veselin Radulovic underlines that, in his private life or in party activities, Andrija Mandic can welcome anyone with the flag he chooses, but in the Cabinet of the Parliament Speaker, the only flag he should be allowed to welcome with is the national flag of Montenegro.
Today, Mandic welcomed Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral Joanikije with the flag of Montenegro and the tricolor flag in the cabinet.
CdM recently announced that Mandic, when receiving foreign officials, delegations, representatives of numerous embassies, foreign companies in his cabinet, although he should, does not raise the national flag of Montenegro.
During the recent meeting of Mandic with the President of the Board of Directors of EPCG Milutin Djukanovic, Mayor of Niksic Marko Kovacevic and their colleagues from the Serb Republic, General Director of the Serb Republic’s power supplier Luka Petrovic and Mayor of Trebinje Mirko Curic, the national flag of Montenegro was not displayed.
“It is obvious that Mandic did not act in accordance with the regulations in the mentioned cases. Whether he represents Montenegro in that way and whether he expresses his belonging to Montenegro is a question not only for Mandic, but also for those who elected him as Parliament Speaker”, underlines Radulovic.
