Like Prime Minister Ana Brnabic, Dacic referred to a statement by Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic that Vucic and Belgrade's current policy "showed very problematic intentions" towards Podgorica and that since the adoption of the Law on Religious Freedom in December, there has been strong media and political aggression from Serbia.
"Vucic did not call on Montenegrin citizens to come out and vote, this was done by the Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama and others, and this for Djukanovic, is not interference in internal affairs," said the Serbian Foreign Minister.
Dacic stressed that Serbia is not interested in power in Montenegro, but only in the rights and freedoms of the Serb minority, which makes up about 29% of the population there, as well as in the position of the Serbian Orthodox Church "whose properties were targeted by Montenegrin authorities. The State Election Commission announced on August 30th the preliminary results of the general elections, which showed that the three pro-Serbian and pro-Russian opposition coalitions won more than half of the seats in the next composition of the Montenegrin parliament.
