Andrei Nesterenko: The decision to join NATO should be taken by the people, not by the skupshchina
The former Russian representative in Montenegro, Andrei Nesterenko, gave an interview to the correspondents of the newspaper Dan, in which he voiced his thoughts about the current political and diplomatic situation, and also shared his further plans.
As Nesterenko said, he repeatedly said that Montenegro should take Montenegro as an exceptionally democratic decision, as an important decision, as an entry into the Bloc. Do not give this issue entirely to the group of deputies.
The other day, an official meeting between the former Ambassador of the Russian Federation and the Foreign Minister of Montenegro Igor Luksic took place, during which Nesterenko stressed that participation in Russia and Montenegro would not affect the participation of any organization in any organizations, but also mentioned that Russia would not be able to ignore the entry of Montenegro into NATO, and this event will somehow resonate.
At the same time, the former Russian ambassador noted that there is no question of any confrontation with NATO and the NATO member countries separately, and he refuted the interlocutor's suggestion about the possibility of applying sanctions, noting that the Russian Federation does not consider this a way of conducting foreign policy.
Andrei Nesterenko expressed his opinion about Montenegro's support for Russian investors in the economy - the ambassador believes that the authorities' interest in these projects was not confirmed by facts.
Andrei Nesterenko plans to continue his career in the diplomatic sphere upon his return to Russia.
Recall that from July 1, the official post of Russia's extraordinary and plenipotentiary representative in Montenegro is occupied by Sergei Gritsay.
