The newly elected President of Montenegro, Jakov Milatović, stated that genocide was committed in Srebrenica.
Let us remind you that Milatović defeated DPS candidate Milo Đukanović in the elections, which represents a major turning point on the Montenegrin political scene.
During the campaign, many labeled him as a “pro-Serbian” candidate, so the question arose as to what position he would take on some of the key regional issues.
“The International Court was very clear and made a decision when it came to Srebrenica. It is very important that the International Court somewhere individualized the genocide in Srebrenica. My position in this regard is very clear, the Montenegrin Parliament also made a resolution when it came to Srebrenica. It is very important that as a region, together, we make a judgment about the past that was difficult. The past that had one Srebrenica, but also one Jasenovac, the past that also had things in Montenegro like the great crime in Piva, Velica… These are all things that I clearly condemn,” Milatović told Al Jazeera Balkans, B92 reported.
