While all the attention has shifted to the US, Vladimir Putin seems to be throwing his hooks into the Balkans. After Serbia and Bosnia, Vladimir Putin has extended his tentacles to Montenegro.

According to the Montenegrin media, the parties of the former pro-Russian Democratic Front and the Bosnian Party became part of the new government, amid the concerns of the United States, the opposition of the country's president and the opposition.

The pro-Russian and pro-Serbian parties will have two posts of deputy prime ministers and three ministers, while the Bosnians will have one post of deputy prime minister and five ministers.

In his speech to the deputies, Prime Minister Milojko Spajic pointed out the importance of the government for the future of the country.

The government reshuffle was criticized by Montenegrin opposition parties, who said the entry of pro-Russian parties meant a government that would be run by Moscow and Belgrade.

" As a close ally and partner of Montenegro, the United States of America will continue to support and recognize the constructive actions of the parliament and government, pointing out activities that are contrary to Euro-Atlantic values ​​and endanger tangible progress towards integration in the European Union ", says the statement of the American embassy
