Filipce backs Montenegro’s prime minister: Vucic’s interference poses a problem for the entire region

Venko Filipce, leader of the SDSM, has shared on social media a statement by Montenegro’s Prime Minister Milojko Spajic, who said that Vucic had taken on the role of “Russia’s PR man.”

In a post on X, Filipce said the Montenegrin prime minister had publicly expressed what they had been saying in Macedonia for a long time.

“Aleksandar Vucic’s interference is not merely a local issue, but a regional problem. The same model is being implemented here through VMRO-DPMNE and Mickoski, serving the agendas of others that directly clash with European interests and values. This is precisely why the European Commission speaks of interference by the ‘Serbian world’,” Filipce wrote.

According to him, this is a coordinated effort aimed at leaving the region, and Macedonia in particular, in a gray area between Europe and Russia.

“The problem lies with those who speak about Europe today, while tomorrow carrying out the agendas of Belgrade and Moscow. Montenegro has said this openly. The time has come for the citizens of Macedonia to understand this clearly as well,” Filipce stressed, also sharing the Montenegrin prime minister’s post.

Meanwhile, Spajic said that Montenegro was not seeking a confrontation with Serbia, but aimed for good-neighborly relations and the pursuit of a clear European policy—something that, according to him, Vucic “does not want to understand.”

The prime minister of Montenegro also criticized the Serbian president for his approach toward Russia, sending him the message that he was playing the role of “Russia’s PR man.”

“It is unbecoming of someone in his position to take on the role of ‘Russia’s PR man’ and lecture others about principles,” Spajic wrote.

Spajic also raised the issue of weapons ending up in Ukraine. /Telegrafi/
