The matter of dispatch - this is how the international media dubbed the exacerbated diplomatic situation around the Montenegrin Foreign Ministry. The scandal was caused by the leakage of secret diplomatic documentation in which the interview of Igor Luksic (Montenegrin Foreign Minister) and Frank-Walter Steinmeier (German Foreign Minister) was recorded. Also in the press were reports on NATO Brussels meetings Vesco Garcevic, a NATO representative from Montenegro.
According to the Dan newspaper, a particularly acute reaction was caused by Igor Luksic's remark about Russia's anti-NATO pressure on Montenegro, carried out gradually, with the help of the Russian Orthodox Church's influence on the Serbian Orthodox Church and the activities of opposition groups. The media in their comments actively supported the position of the Foreign Minister of Montenegro, although the authenticity of documents was recognized only by V. Garchevic.
Some experts note that the dispatch is an attempt to compromise Igor Luksic. Milo Djukanovic, the Montenegrin prime minister who has been de facto in power for about 25 years, is trying to delay the moment of Euro-Atlantic integration of the country until the next elections (which will be held in 2016).
