Vučić: Serbs should join govt ahead of election

On 5 August, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić met the representatives of Serbian organizations in Montenegro and told them they should not reject the government’s invitation for setting up a temporary governing coalition, ahead of the parliamentary election and census, writes Pobjeda daily.

Vučić’s statement followed the idea of the leader of the United Montenegro, Goran Danilović, who considered that the political representatives of Serbs should support setting up of a temporary government, for which they would need the external support.

Several sources close to Pobjeda daily attended the meeting in Belgrade and revealed that the Serbian president pointed out Serbs would only benefit from joining Montenegrin govt. “Serbs would thus be able to show their interests and exercise their rights ahead of the elections and census. However, we do not want to meddle into Montenegro’s internal affairs,” said Vučić, according to Pobjeda’s sources.

Vučić and the managerial structure of the Serbian Progressive party, SNS, have been striving to convince Serbs to join the Montenegrin government since 2014.
