Đukanović was the only one who remembered Russia and Serbia

Đukanović u Varšavi

Of all the leaders of the countries and high officials who attended the Warsaw event marking the 80th anniversary of the start of World War II,  President of Montenegro Mr Milo Đukanović was the only one who mentioned that Serbia and Russia should have attended the ceremony, writes Kommersant daily.

President Đukanović reminded of the major role that the Soviet Union played in the liberation of Europe and the victory over fascism, and regretted that the representatives of Russia had not been invited to attend the event, reported Kommersant radio.

Mr Đukanović tackled on another very important topic “extremely delicate for some post-Soviet states”, and that is – the growing influence of the nationalist forces that are trying to “change the history”.

“Đukanović’s statement was a moment of truth,” it was assessed in a comment and added that the Montenegrin leader in this way conveyed a message to Moscow that “he has been ready to turn a new page and return to the traditional relations between the two countries.”

Of the representatives of the Western Balkans delegations, the Warsaw ceremony was attended by President of Montenegro Mr Milo Đukanović, Albania’s President Mr Ilir Meta and their Croatian counterpart Ms Kolinda Grabar Kitarović.
