Podgorica, Montenegro (1 November 2018) -- Regarding media reports on the ban of entry of certain Serbian intellectuals into Montenegro, the Government notes that the development of security assessments related to certain events and activities of individuals that could jeopardise national security and state interests of Montenegro, or harm its reputation and dignity is the security services' permanent duty.
It is our constitutional and moral obligation to protect stability and security of the country from malevolent individuals, as well as the tranquility of all its citizens, including the state-building, patriotic and national feelings of most of them.
We are convinced that each responsible government, anywhere in the world, would do the same. In that regard, not only do we understand, but also appreciate when President Vučić and other Serbian officials protect interests and dignity of Serbia.
We underline that such an approach has nothing to do with the prohibition of freedom of opinion, but only and exclusively refers to preventing foreign citizens from provoking or inciting intolerance in Montenegro, insulting its reputation or celebrating the violent disappearance of Montenegro.
We also note that there are no lists of people declared persona non grata, but the competent state authorities in each case assess the individuals whose actions could endanger the protected values and interests of Montenegro and its citizens.
