The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, seems not to be angry with Montenegro, as he has banned a Montenegrin official from entering Belgrade. The latter opposed the "Open Balkan" initiative.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Montenegro asked Serbia to clarify the decision by which the former Minister of European Affairs in the Government of Montenegro, Jovana Marovic, was denied entry to the Belgrade airport.
The Ministry announced that it expresses the belief that "such a practice will not continue because it violates democratic values and hinders the further development of good neighborly relations and regional cooperation".
"These are the main prerequisites for building a common European future, as a key priority of the foreign policy of both countries", emphasized the Montenegrin Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The announcement stated that the Ministry, after learning that Marović was refused entry to Serbia at the border point at the "Nikola Tesla" airport in Belgrade, contacted him, while the Embassy of Montenegro in Belgrade took measures to return Marović's personal documents. and enabled her return to Montenegro that same evening.
Marovic was publicly targeted in the pro-regime media in Serbia for supporting the "Serbia Against Violence" protests she participated in in Belgrade.
In November last year, Marovic resigned as Montenegro's deputy prime minister and minister for European affairs after her department analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of Montenegro's participation in Serbia's Open Balkans initiative, which she strongly opposed it.
Before joining the Abazovic Government and the URA Movement, she was a civil activist.
