Coalition of NGOs: Spajić to make a statement and say whether the Government proposes amendments

AUTHOR: M.J.
In a letter sent today to Prime Minister Milojko Spajić, the coalition of NGOs demanded that he declare whether the Government of Montenegro proposes amendments to the Resolution on Srebrenica, and if so, to publish and explain the text of those amendments with arguments.

- It is unacceptable in a serious democratic state that, at the same time, the Minister of Foreign Affairs from the Prime Minister's party (Movement Europe Now!) rejects the media's claims about the amendments as unofficial information, and that, on the other hand, a member of parliament from the same party talks about them as a done deal - it is stated in the press release of the coalition of NGOs.

In particular, they demand that Prime Minister Spajić, when declaring about possible amendments, also announce whether Montenegro will, along with them, co-sponsor the resolution on Srebrenica or not, and if not, why not, and whether, in any way, Montenegro's vote is called into question Above about the resolution in case the amendments are not adopted.

We remind you that to date a total of 106 NGOs and over 350 citizens of Montenegro, most of whom are public figures, have initiated the initiative for Montenegro to co-sponsor the UN resolution, considering it a worthy expression of respect for the victims of the Srebrenica genocide and a responsible attitude towards the future.
