Declaration on Reconciliation in Montenegro, recently proposed by Democratic Front (DF), describes Montenegro as a civic state but the emphasis is on the “reconciliation among the Orthodox majority” of the people. Declaration proposes that “Orthodox Montenegrins and Serbs be the first to take responsibility” for Montenegro’s future and to work together on overcoming “dangerous divisions they inherited”.
DF proposed reconciliation “based on the traditions of Njegos’s Montenegro, resting on the Kosovo vow and respect for ancestors”.
The signing of the Declaration took place on 27 January, St. Sava’s day, which is how DF wanted to emphasise the need for Orthodox people in Montenegro to reconcile and come together. The document was signed by DF leaders Andrija Mandic, Milan Knezevic and Nebojsa Medojevic.
