Government will consult public on Kosovo recognition Print E-mail
The government will carry out a thorough examination of the Montenegrin citizenry’s feelings about whether or not it should recognize Kosovo, says Miodrag Vuković, a representative of the ruling Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS).
Vuković said that his party committed to consulting Montenegrins on the issue when Željko Šturanović was Prime Minister, prior to the return of Milo Djukanović to that post in February.
“No one is exerting pressure on Montenegro to recognize Kosovo and the whole international community understands the official Podgorica stance. The decision shall be made by Montenegro alone,” Vuković said.
“Our stance may be interpreted as a positive distance regarding that issue and we shall be making no hasty decisions but nor shall we delay unnecessarily,” Vuković said.
He maintained that the issue should be solved in a way that will, “absolutely take into account the need to not disturb Montenegro and the region.”
“It is a high-risk issue that draws very strong emotions, divides nations, an issue that is not just an academic political problem,” Vuković concluded.
