Montenegrin Parliament Speaker Ranko Krivokapic has criticized Serbia by saying it nurtures “historical rivalry” with his country. He said that “Podgorica was not encouraging that relationship in any way” and that “Serbia’s political elite is a slave to the 19th century prejudices”. Montenegrin speaker accuses Serbia of “rivalry” Krivokapic went on to tell Podgorica-based daily Pobjeda, ahead of thethe fourth anniversary of Montenegro’s independence referendum, that Serbia “envies Montenegro because of its integration process, especially when it comes to NATO”. “It’s a historical rivalry which we’re not encouraging in any way way, but we feel it all the time,” Krivokapic complained. As for the “slave to the 19th century prejudices” remark, Krivokapic explained: “That’s a constant of their relation toward Montenegro which should always be counted on. It should be counted on, just like India is counting on monsoons, or a lack of monsoons.” The speaker also pointed out that there was an “important difference” between Montenegro and Serbia, and explained that it was in Montenegro's“continuity of statehood and leadership”, which, he concluded, was Montenegro's advantage. As for the country's “best development projects”, Krivokapic singled out its independence. Krivokapic also stressed that he had a detailed conversation with Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic about the consequences of his possible decision to leave office. “If it came to that, it would be a great personal and state decision and that it was why all its consequences should be measured,” said the speaker. “Milo Djukanovic represents a tall tree in Montenegro’s historic woods. That decision, when it is made, must be thoroughly prepared,” concluded Krivokapic.
