Montenegrin Prime Minister Milojko Spaich did not show up at all for a meeting with Bulgarian President Rumen Radev in Podgorica, the Montenegrin publication "Viesti" reported.
The delegation led by Radev left the building after four minutes of waiting. The official visit of the head of state started yesterday with a solemn ceremony in front of the presidential palace "Blue Palace". Radev and his wife Desislava Radeva were welcomed by President Yakov Milatovich.
"It was agreed with the Bulgarian embassy that the meeting would take place in the reception hall of the government building at 5:00 p.m., as Prime Minister Milojko Spaich was very keen to meet with President Radev, despite his busy schedule. The Prime Minister's earlier meeting with the major tourist company, the German TUI, lasted three minutes longer than planned, and the delegation of the President of Bulgaria Rumen Radev left the government building after four minutes of waiting," the Montenegrin government announced to the media.
The meeting was supposed to take place in the same reception room where the talks with TUI representatives took place. The reason for the delay is that "the room had to be prepared for the next meeting".
TUI Group is a German leisure, travel and tourism company, one of the largest in the world.
The ambassador of Bulgaria to Montenegro is the scandalous diplomat Stefan Dimitrov, who was fired two days after he was appointed by acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev. Since then, Glavchev combines the two positions.
BGNES reminds that Prime Minister Milojko Spajic's partners are Andrija Mandic, president of the far-right pro-Serbian New Serbian Democracy, and Milan Knežević, current president of the pro-Russian Democratic People's Party. The two parties agreed with Spaich to enter the government until the end of 2024.
For years, pro-Serbian and pro-Russian parties in Montenegro have hindered the country's progress on the path to membership in the European Union with the help of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC), which actively participated in the attempted coup in Montenegro in 2016.
Two Russian citizens Eduard Shishmakov and Vladimir Popov, eight Serbian citizens and the leaders of the "Democratic Front" Milan Knežević and Andrija Mandić were preparing a violent change of government with the active support of the Serbian Orthodox Church /SPC/, the Special Prosecutor's Office reported at the time. The aim was to depose and assassinate then Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic.
In 2020, the SPC, through its former Metropolitan of Montenegro Amfilohje, started six months of protests against the now President Djukanovic and the Democratic Party of Socialists /DPS/, which led to the weakening of the cabinet.
Pro-Serbian and pro-Russian parties in the country also conducted a large-scale campaign against the adoption of the UN Resolution on the Srebrenica genocide committed by Serbian forces in 1995 | BGNES
