The President of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic, stated that there are no indications that the state authorities or institutions of Montenegro have participated in any way in the Russian attempt to attack Moldova, reports the news agency, Beta.
Djukanovic said it could only be about "terrorist individuals or organizations that put themselves at the service of Russian interests to destabilize neighboring countries."
"We know that part of the citizens of Montenegro, as well as of other countries in the region, unfortunately, demonstrates that they support Russian aggression," Djukanovic said.
The President of Montenegro met with the President of Moldova, Maja Sandu, at the Security Conference in Munich.
Sandu said on February 13 that Russia plans to use foreign saboteurs to overthrow its country's leadership, stop its membership in the European Union and use this in the war against Ukraine. According to her, this plan includes citizens of Russia, Montenegro, Belarus, and Serbia entering Moldova.
On the day when Sandu announced the accusations of the existence of such a plan, the fans of the Partizan football team from Belgrade returned from Moldova.
The Moldovan authorities have not announced whether the decision to play the match without an audience and the country's president's claims regarding the plan to topple the leadership are related.
A day later, officials in Belgrade and Podgorica said they had no such information and asked Moldova for additional clarifications regarding its claims.
On February 14, Russia rejected accusations by Moldova's president that Moscow was planning to destabilize the former Soviet republic.
Otherwise, during the past year, Moldova, a neighboring country of Ukraine, has faced a series of security concerns, after fragments of Russian missiles have fallen on Moldovan territory.
