Jeremy Hunt, British Foreign Secretary, commented on today’s verdict and said that verdict against Russian citizens was the example of immoral attempts to undermine European democracy.
“Failed coup attempt in Montenegro represents one of the most insolent examples of how Russia is trying to undermine European democracy. The attempt of GRU to meddle into the Montenegrin parliamentary elections are just another example of destabilizing and aggressive behavior of Russia”, said Mr Hunt.
According to him, today’s verdict is the result of a legal process whose transparency in Montenegro was unprecedented.
“Moscow has to stop attacking territorial integrity and democratic processes of its neighboring countries. Great Britain is inviting Russia to choose another way – endorse the safety of Europe, respect the international system based on rules, and work with us”, concluded Mr Hunt.
