(ANSAmed) - BELGRADE, MARCH 21 - Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic expressed heightened fears of possible repercussions on the Balkans from the armed conflict in Ukraine.
    He again accused Serbia and the Serbian Orthodox Church of being the great supporters of Russian interests in the Western Balkans.
    In an interview with the Greek daily Kathimerini reported by the press in Belgrade, Djukanovic said the crisis in the region could worsen mainly due to the weak link represented by Bosnia-Herzegovina, with its constant domestic problems and threats of secession by Republika Srpska, the majority Serb entity.
    Djukanovic said the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina is in vain.
    "North Macedonia and Albania have not yet started EU accession negotiations, and in Montenegro for five to six years a political crisis has persisted due to of the destructive action of Russia and 'Greater Serbia'," he said.
    Noting that the Serbian Orthodox Church follows the Russian Orthodox Church, which openly supports the invasion of Ukraine, Djukanovic denounced the action of pro-Russian forces in Serbia, Montenegro and Republika Srpska, which organize rallies in support of Vladimir Putin and glorify the "heroic deeds" of the Russian army.
    "Serbia is, unfortunately, an open supporter of the Kremlin in the Western Balkans, and Belgrade is one of the few European capitals, if not the only one, which has not condemned the Russian aggression and which has not adhered to the sanctions policy of the European Union , despite being a candidate country for EU accession. The story of neutrality (Serbian, ed.) is for children," Djukanovic said.(ANSAmed).
