FOR GOOD RELATIONSHIPS SAKE

The Embassy of Serbia canceled laying the wreath

The Embassy of Serbia postponed the laying of a wreath on the Memorial Plaque at the Old Town of Budva entrance.

The Republic of Serbia and its Embassy, as they state, reject the claims of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro that laying a wreath is a gross interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state and a historical falsification, as malicious and incorrect.

According to the statement, the Embassy, in accordance with previous practice and established tradition, planned to mark November 11, the Day of Reconciliation in the Great War, in the way it has done so far - by laying a wreath on the Memorial Plaque at the Old Town of Budva entrance.

"So, on the board that symbolizes victory, liberation as a universal value, all battles and great suffering for freedom," the statement said.

As it is stated, the Embassy duly informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro about the planned activities in accordance with diplomatic practice.

"On that occasion, the Ministry invited the ambassador for a conversation last night and stated that they consider this activity a gross interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state, a historical falsification, and therefore disapprove of this activity as a host country and consider it unacceptable," the statement said.

Afterwards, the Embassy canceled laying the wreath.
