NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg was met with protests yesterday during his two-day visit to oversee Montenegro’s bid to join the imperialist alliance.
“We recognise the progress that this nation has made in pursuing reform, in contributing to international security, in promoting co-operation within the western Balkans,” Mr Stoltenberg told Montenegrin MPs.
“In close co-operation with Nato, Montenegro has reformed its armed forces and its intelligence services.”
But protesters rallied in the capital Podgorica with banners reading “No to Nato.” The same slogan has been sprayed on dozens of buildings throughout the city.
The government’s campaign to win support for the bid has come up against memories of Nato’s 1999 bombing of the then republic of Serbia and Montenegro in support of Kosovar separatists.
The US supports Nato membership for Montenegro but Russia opposes it.
