"I suppose Djukanovic means Montenegrin interests, which is nice - because Serbia is also making decisions in its own interest," Dacic told Podgorica-based daily Dan.
"Should I apologize to somebody because of that?," he asked.
Another thing that Djukanovic hinted at in the same interview is that Serbia is responsible "for Montenegro's destruction," the minister observed, adding, "whatever that means."
"Serbia has neither banned any Montenegrin citizens from entering Serbia, nor does Montenegro's entry into the EU depend on Serbia. Therefore, it's really ridiculous," Dacic said.
He at the same time assessed that relations between the two countries are stable, while Serbia is "open to discussion of all topics that both consider important - and Serbia wishes to Montenegro that it joins the EU."
"But, we cannot accept the role of the usual suspect for everybody's problems. In the end, Montenegro will at long last understand that there is no sorrow in Serbia because of the separation with Montenegro. Have a safe trip, and I wish we never joined (into the common state) in the first place," Dacic said.
According to him, if somebody should regret this happening in 1918, it's Serbia, a country that lost 28 percent of its population in the First World War.
"Who is Montenegro complaining about, (Yugoslav King) Aleksandar Kradjordjevic, a half-Montenegrin, the grandson of Montenegrin King Nikola Petrovic? Anyway, Kradjordjevics themselves are Petrovics who moved to Sumadija (Serbia's central region) from the hills of Montenegro and Herzegovina. Somebody from Sumadija, Krusevac or Topolica (Serbian towns) would never abolish Serbia for the sake of (creating) Yugoslavia," the minister observed, and added:
"And why would we have regrets because of Montenegro? We were two states before. The only thing that never happened was Montenegro and Serbia being in conflict. That's what's tragic. Besides, (Montenegrin) King Nikola, when he made his proclamation to the people in 1914, wrote, 'long live Serbdom'. I didn't write that, he did."
Dacic further said that the gusle is both a Serb and a Montenegrin instrument, but that he never heard a song performed on it that spoke about conflict between Serbia and Montenegro.
"That's why when there's talk in Montenegro about the Greater Serbia aggression, I always joke and say that I'm only aware of the Greater Montenegrin aggression targeting leading positions in Serbia," he said.
"In conclusion, I wish all the best to Montenegro, I don't care what they're doing, except when it touches on Serb national and state interests and the position of Serbs in Montenegro, who make up 30 percent (of the population). That's a sovereign right of each state. We should be doing all this in mutual friendship," Dacic said.
According to him, the position of Serbs in Montenegro is an important element in bilateral relations.
"We consider Serbs to be a constituent people in Montenegro, by no means a minority. Otherwise, the issue of which language is spoken by citizens of Montenegro we leave to them to decide, although it's a fact that when our officials meet, they don't need interpreters," the minister said.
He also stressed that Serbia thinks the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro is an important part of its history and culture, and is treated as such by Belgrade.
"And I personally believe that Montenegro's majority population thinks the same. However, all these issues can be solved through dialogue and are part of the discussion during meetings of our two countries' officials. I think that it would be healthy for our relations, but also for Montenegro's internal stability, if Serbs became a part of the ruling coalition. Many problems could be overcome in that way," Dacic said.

"Dacic "wishes we never had common state with Montenegro""
LOL. What a sensational statement. He pretends he doesn't know that all nations in Yugoslavia wish they never had a common state with Serbia. That includes Montenegro!
Montenegrins's roots are from the Illyrian Diocleti tribe. Serbs butchered that name and called it Duklja. Montenegro's heart has historically been in Shkodra, at the heart of the Albanian Alps. Serbian spy Njegosh moved it to Cetinje and he started to baptize Orthodox Albanians in the Slavic church and gave them Slavic names.
Montenegro's national identity has always shifted between Serb and Albanian and now they're somewhere in between and a separate nation from both. Serbia needs to respect Montenegrin identity.

(njegos, 31 December 2018 16:28)
Dacic is absolutely right, and my heritage is 100% Serb from Montenegro. Just because Milo Djukanovic with a few of his lap dog historians decided to carve out a Montenegrin ethnic group separate and distinct from Serbs, doesn't make it viable. Montenegrins are Serbs. Same religion, same language, same customs, etc. Arguable the most famous Serb in history, Petar Petrovic Njegos, always considered himself a Serb. Nemanja, the 1st Serbian king was born in Podgorica. I could go on and on. The two peoples are inseparable.
I love it when the resident Serb-haters on this board like Azir, Avni, Rocky, Leonard, Tommy boy, et al praise the Montenegrins. They seem to forget that Montenegro fought with the Serbs in every war throughout history against the Croats, Muslims and Albanians (along with their Nazi friends) including the war of the 90s. I'm convinced none of these revisionists have ever been to Montenegro. If they had, they would know that the majority of Montenegrins want unification with Serbia and when Djukanovic is gone, it will happen. Funny thing is, Djukanovic keeps promising Albanians all sorts of things just to buy their votes and hasn't delivered on any of it. Yet Albanians keep voting for him and his policies. He's been using and abusing the Albanians for years. As I've said before, nobody ever accused the Albanians of being smart.
(njegos, 31 December 2018 16:18)
Peggy we have been in the region before you came in 7 BC . Pellazg and Ilirian are the oldest people in EU. We know where you came from from the steps. You and other invasions of Ilirian land have tried hard to destroy our history, but we still survived we are here to stay and get stronger. One thing I have to ask you where are all those Ordhodoks Albanians now not all the people converted to islam, maybe in Serbia calling themselves Serbian so I recommend for all the Serbian to do their DNA test because they may be the lost Albanian Orthadoks that never converted to islam. You maybe are Albanian.

"Otherwise, the issue of which language is spoken by citizens of Montenegro we leave to them to decide, although it's a fact that when our officials meet, they don't need interpreters", it is a dialect like serbian, bosnian and croatian is a dialect of the yugoslavian language.

(Avni, 28 December 2018 19:38)
There is a very simple explenation to why our neighbors blame Serbia for all their problems. They dont know how to handle their problems after becoming independent. All internal problem are conveniently blamed on Serbia. Look at Kosovo. Independent if you ask albanians but at the same time blaming Serbia for being the nr drugcapital and terrorrnest in Europe. You can still build a strong and prosperous society even if one of your neighbors didnt recognize you. Same with Montenegro. Dukanovic is a dictator. Needs to have an enemy so he could continue to stay in power. He knows his people are all for better ties with Serbia so he feels the need to change those views. And Bosnia where RS is blooming while the federation is split between croats and muslims and where corruption has gone through the Rolf. Serbia is minding its own business and doing very well. This separation served Serbia well.
(Hank the Tank, 28 December 2018 17:25)
Serbia, and more so Montenegro, have the same problem of dealing with criminal elements within their ruling elites. In Montenegro, the dictatorship use public sector employees combined with votes from Bosniaks and Albanians to stay in power. They threaten the ethnic minorities that Serbs will somehow cause them harm if Montenegro returns to its Serbian roots. Nothing can be further from the truth.
Speaking as someone born in Montenegro, I can assure you that the overwhelming majority of people there feel Serbian. The fact that 35% of people there publicly admit so in spite of the harm this causes to themselves and their families, should tell you all you need to know.
Serbia and Montenegro belong together. In time, it's only natural that they will reunify.

It's ridiculous that Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic says Serbia's relations with "neighbors Zagreb, Pristina, and Podgorica" have been strained. Ya rite he forgot to mention Sarajevo, Skopje, Tirana etc. Milo stop trying to make Serbia look a little better then it is.
(Lenard, 30 December 2018 07:47)
Pristina, Podgorica, Sarajevo, Skopje, Tirana and specially Zagreb can go and f*** themselves. Hey Lenny what happen to F16? Now you look at grippen but more likely its grippen your nether regions LOL.

Serbia is a lonely shell of what it once thought it was. Is it possible for one country to have so many disputes with EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY THAT SURROUNDS THEM?
2 weeks, 14 days Kosovar Armed Forces declared and currently being expanded, strengthened, equipped and trained!
Mythical Serbian strength and power can only send a protest note. With all of these protest notes Serbia has sent since 1999 they can put together a novel. Call it “Serbia: Losers Since 1389”

"I suppose Djukanovic means Montenegrin interests, which is nice - because Serbia is also making decisions in its own interest," Dacic told Podgorica-based daily Dan.
P.S. Somebody should explain to little Sloba that Kosovo taxes against Serbia are made to fight for Kosovo's interest.
(Avni, 28 December 2018 19:38)
No one likes serbia or serbs. This is a Fact. The Balkans would have been a million times better without serbia. Please serbs go back to Ukraine. That's were you came from during the 7th century. This is also a FACT everyone agrees on. You are immigrants to the Balkans. You came from Ukraine. The End

DACIC DON'T TRY TO PLAY THE ROLE OF GREAT SERBIAN HERO AND DON'T TRY TO FOOL PEOPLE BY CREATING POLITICAL PROBLEM WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT CREATE PROBLEMS WITH KOSOVA,MONTENEGRO,CROATIA,MAQEDONIA. PLEASE FOCUS ON SERBIA AND ITS PEOPLE WORRIE ABOUT THE ECONOMY. SERBIAS WAR AND CONFLICTS HAS BROUGHT MISERRY FOR SERBIAN PEOPLE. LEAVE MONTENEGRO ALONG.THEY ARE DOING FINE BY THEMSELVES.
(ari, 30 December 2018 06:25)
Serbia, and more so Montenegro, have the same problem of dealing with criminal elements within their ruling elites. In Montenegro, the dictatorship use public sector employees combined with votes from Bosniaks and Albanians to stay in power. They threaten the ethnic minorities that Serbs will somehow cause them harm if Montenegro returns to its Serbian roots. Nothing can be further from the truth.
Speaking as someone born in Montenegro, I can assure you that the overwhelming majority of people there feel Serbian. The fact that 35% of people there publicly admit so in spite of the harm this causes to themselves and their families, should tell you all you need to know.
Serbia and Montenegro belong together. In time, it's only natural that they will reunify.
(Ari Gold, 28 December 2018 17:11)
There is a very simple explenation to why our neighbors blame Serbia for all their problems. They dont know how to handle their problems after becoming independent. All internal problem are conveniently blamed on Serbia. Look at Kosovo. Independent if you ask albanians but at the same time blaming Serbia for being the nr drugcapital and terrorrnest in Europe. You can still build a strong and prosperous society even if one of your neighbors didnt recognize you. Same with Montenegro. Dukanovic is a dictator. Needs to have an enemy so he could continue to stay in power. He knows his people are all for better ties with Serbia so he feels the need to change those views. And Bosnia where RS is blooming while the federation is split between croats and muslims and where corruption has gone through the Rolf. Serbia is minding its own business and doing very well. This separation served Serbia well.
(Hank the Tank, 28 December 2018 17:25)
Mr."non-muslim Albanian",there is nothing to be proud of, because you did not kick out no one in 1999.If those 19 NATO countries were not there, you could have finished in a dustbin. Besides, Montenegrins are are very good Mafia but very poor in honesty, like you are.
(Darmon de Riac, 28 December 2018 15:24)
@Comment, who exactly did you kick out? I seem to remember it was the albanian terrorists and organ traffickers who where kicked out and then went crying to uncle Sam to save them. Lol
(Truth hurts., 28 December 2018 14:56)
Well said Mr Dacic.
Can I catalogue and
Croatia has BIG problems with Montenegro, but we in Serbia think it's for them or the courts to sort out not Serbia. We read, we hear.
As for Montenegro they are "nice" to Muslims from Kosovo only to annoy us Serbs, Serbia.
They are welcome to take, recall all their Montenegrin from Serbia. I do not enjoy listening to them in my Vojvodina.
(Lilly, 28 December 2018 12:16)
Do Albanians have nothing to do but lie like milo the dummy .Albanians are hated everywhere not serbs...and milo doesnt speak for the 200.000 montenegrins in that country .and there is also 190.000 srrbs there .... so milo should be quiet already.

Wow, I'm glad you finally put "The End" at the end of that ridiculous rant.
That is only your dearest wish and nothing else.
Tell me, when did you Albanians invade our sacred lands? You are newcomers to the region and that a FACT.
If you have a history there then you should have no problem presenting evidence of your being there.
So put up on shut up.
(Peggy, 31 December 2018 00:23)
"Otherwise, the issue of which language is spoken by citizens of Montenegro we leave to them to decide, although it's a fact that when our officials meet, they don't need interpreters", it is a dialect like serbian, bosnian and croatian is a dialect of the yugoslavian language. None is the original they are one.
Germans inside germany have bigger differences in german than the former yugoslavian republics have with their basic language.

From ari: "Peggy we have been in the region before you came in 7 BC . Pellazg and Ilirian are the oldest people in EU."
Says who ari? You? An anonymous keyboard warrior? That's laughable. Please provide some verifiable evidence of your ridiculous claims. Otherwise, you're just another loudmouth Albanian with nothing to support your statements. Congratulations, you've now joined the ranks of Azir, Avni, Rocky, USA stands w/Albanians, Tom O'rizi or whatever his screen name is). All have big claims, but not one can provide any reliable historian to back up their claims. The only thing that is certain about Albanian history is that you've converted and assimilated to every occupier that crossed your path. In other words, you've always taken the easy route. Just as we've seen as recently as the 90s when the US and NATO fought your war for you. Such a rich legacy to be proud of.
(njegos, 31 December 2018 16:28)
Dacic is absolutely right, and my heritage is 100% Serb from Montenegro. Just because Milo Djukanovic with a few of his lap dog historians decided to carve out a Montenegrin ethnic group separate and distinct from Serbs, doesn't make it viable. Montenegrins are Serbs. Same religion, same language, same customs, etc. Arguable the most famous Serb in history, Petar Petrovic Njegos, always considered himself a Serb. Nemanja, the 1st Serbian king was born in Podgorica. I could go on and on. The two peoples are inseparable.
I love it when the resident Serb-haters on this board like Azir, Avni, Rocky, Leonard, Tommy boy, et al praise the Montenegrins. They seem to forget that Montenegro fought with the Serbs in every war throughout history against the Croats, Muslims and Albanians (along with their Nazi friends) including the war of the 90s. I'm convinced none of these revisionists have ever been to Montenegro. If they had, they would know that the majority of Montenegrins want unification with Serbia and when Djukanovic is gone, it will happen. Funny thing is, Djukanovic keeps promising Albanians all sorts of things just to buy their votes and hasn't delivered on any of it. Yet Albanians keep voting for him and his policies. He's been using and abusing the Albanians for years. As I've said before, nobody ever accused the Albanians of being smart.

Dacic is so stupid. I'm surprised that Serbia thinks that it can allow itself to have such a moron as its foreign minister. Get rid of him if you want to be taken seriously.
(Tony (a Brit seconded to Berlin), 31 December 2018 02:31)
Peggy we have been in the region before you came in 7 BC . Pellazg and Ilirian are the oldest people in EU. We know where you came from from the steps. You and other invasions of Ilirian land have tried hard to destroy our history, but we still survived we are here to stay and get stronger. One thing I have to ask you where are all those Ordhodoks Albanians now not all the people converted to islam, maybe in Serbia calling themselves Serbian so I recommend for all the Serbian to do their DNA test because they may be the lost Albanian Orthadoks that never converted to islam. You maybe are Albanian.
(ari, 31 December 2018 10:30)
Albanians saying that no one likes serbians when in fact no one wants to give albanians visas because you guys immigrate with crime unlike serbs. Last i checked serbs already have visas to almost every country
(Zo, 29 December 2018 22:39)
"Dacic "wishes we never had common state with Montenegro""
LOL. What a sensational statement. He pretends he doesn't know that all nations in Yugoslavia wish they never had a common state with Serbia. That includes Montenegro!
Montenegrins's roots are from the Illyrian Diocleti tribe. Serbs butchered that name and called it Duklja. Montenegro's heart has historically been in Shkodra, at the heart of the Albanian Alps. Serbian spy Njegosh moved it to Cetinje and he started to baptize Orthodox Albanians in the Slavic church and gave them Slavic names.
Montenegro's national identity has always shifted between Serb and Albanian and now they're somewhere in between and a separate nation from both. Serbia needs to respect Montenegrin identity.
(Genti, 31 December 2018 17:40)
NJEGOS... I HAVE QUESTION FOR YOU WHERE DO SERBIAN PEOPLE COME FROM,AND WHEN DID THEY COME TO BALLKANS. FIRST NO ONE IS 100 % OF ANYTHING. BASED ON DNA SLLOVENIA HAS 30% ILLIRIAN DNA,BOSNJA 45%,CROATIA 45%,MONTENEGRO 50%,KOSOVA 55%,NORTH ALBANIA 55% ,SERBIA 25%. SOUTH ALBANIA 35%. DO WE AGREE THAT PELLAZGSAND ILLIRIAN WHERE THE FIRST IN REGION AND BALLKANS . IF THESE ALBANIANS WHERE SOME PEOPLE THAT CAME LATELY THEN THEY MUST HAVE BEEN AN IVADING FORCE THAT CONCERED THE NATIVES ILLIRIANS. I NEVER HERD OF ANY INVADING ALBANIAN EMPIRE. I HEARD OF SERBIAN INVADING ARMIES COMING IN 7 TH BC IN BALLKANS .OKAY THIS IS THE WAY THEY TOUGHT YOU IN SCHOOLS.NO PROBLEM .REALITY IS SERBIAN CROTIAN,MONTENEGRIN KOSOVA,ALBANIA. ARE HERE AND THEY ARE HERE TO STAY.HAVE HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU AND THE STAFF OF B92.

Again I ask, says who?? You, ari? Please provide us your credentials to lend some credibility to your claims. I've asked you and all of the Albanians on this site to provide some verifiable evidence to support your claims and still, after years of asking, not a single person has provided a shred of evidence. And now I see genti has joined the revisionist party, but with no verifiable sources.
For the thousandth time, sources, sources, sources.... Your statements are meaningless just like your existence.
