Srecko Djukic
Srecko Djukic, a diplomat and a former ambassador, said on Nov. 30 that declaring the Serbian ambassador to Montenegro, Vladimir Bozovic, a persona non grata was "a surpirise" initially, but given the essence of both regimes, it's a wonder the move hadn't come sooner.
Djukic said to BETA that it's a personality that mattered. "Ivo Andric was the ambassador of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in Berlin when the Tripartite Pact was signed, and we didn't know anything about it until Andric died. Andric was the type of a diplomat who preferred not to be seen. In this case, everything is different," Djukic said.
In his own words, it is not up to an ambassador to make any comments on internal affairs in the state he or she had been appointed to. "His personal dislikes and those of his government are never to be shared. It is the duty of an ambassador to develop bilateral relations," Djukic explained.
The diplomat said that the devastation of Serbian diplomacy started in Slobodan Milosevic's era, and that a person like Vladimir Bozovic didn't deserve to be an ambassador.
