It will be known today whether the Government of Zdravko Krivokapic will adopt a decision on imposing sanctions on Russia due to the aggression against Ukraine, or whether it will continue with the policy contrary to the one pursued by the European Union, of which Montenegro claims to be a member.
Last Thursday (17 March), this was not done because Krivokapic did not want the government to make a decision, as required by law, but tried to transfer the decision to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, headed by Djordje Radulovic, contrary to legal regulations.
The head of Montenegrin diplomacy then rejected such a possibility, after which the outgoing prime minister interrupted the cabinet meeting, refusing to allow the ministers to declare on the issue.
Contrary to EU policy, the fact that Krivokapic avoids imposing sanctions on Russia undermines Montenegro’s already shaken reputation with international partners due to the policy pursued by Krivokapic.
