Due to protests in Podgorica, NATO may postpone Montenegro's invitation to the alliance - expert opinion

Bosko Jakšić, an expert on foreign policy from Belgrade, believes that the protests in Podgorica and other cities in the country may delay the invitation of Montenegro to NATO. The authorities expect it in December 2015.

According to Yakshich, in this case it is difficult to talk about Russia's direct intervention in organizing the protests of the "Democratic Front" in Podgorica, but its indirect participation "through certain political circles and the Serbian Orthodox Church and Metropolitan Amphilochia is obvious." The expert said in an interview with the publication "Pobjeda".

According to him, Russia has never concealed a negative attitude towards NATO expansion to the East, and in particular, to the Balkans. The expert believes that after the incident - a multi-day protest, dispersal of the demonstration, clashes between police and protesters, investigation of provocations - an invitation to NATO may be postponed, which is Russia's direct interest in this situation.
