The Russian ambassador to Montenegro, Sergei Gritsai, received a note of protest over the detention of the Montenegrin politician at Moscow's Domodedovo airport. This is stated in the message of the press service of the government of the country.

Representative of the Democratic Party of Socialists of Montenegro Miodrag Vukovich was detained in Domodedovo the day before. Vukovich was on his way to Minsk when he was detained by security officers. According to the publication Vijesti, citing sources, he was detained "for political reasons." The deputy was kept in a separate room without access to communications, water and a toilet. Soon his health deteriorated. Contact with the staff of Vukovich Montenegrin embassy could only be closer to midnight. After the liberation, Vukovich was offered to continue his journey to Minsk, but the politician refused and was deported to Montenegro.

In connection with the incident, the Russian Ambassador to Podgorica was summoned to the Montenegrin Foreign Ministry. There he was handed a note of protest against the actions of the Russian authorities. "He was pointed to the unacceptable actions of the Russian authorities during the unjustified detention of Vukovich, when officials did not provide him with basic conditions of detention, especially given the deterioration of his health," the government said.

The Montenegrin Foreign Ministry was asked to explain the reasons for the actions of the Russian authorities. In the opinion of the Montenegrin authorities, Moscow "violated the norms of international law and the rules of diplomatic communication through its actions."

Montenegrin Foreign Minister Serzhan Darmanovich earlier accused Russia of interfering in the country's policy. In his opinion, the Russian special services tried to counteract the desire of Montenegro to join NATO. The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the charges relate to Podgorica's desire to justify joining NATO with its own citizens.

The protocol on the accession of Montenegro to NATO on the eve of the ratification of the country's parliament. Finally, Montenegro will join the military bloc after the protocol has been ratified by all NATO member countries.
