Serbia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MFA, has condemned in the strongest terms "the burning of the Montenegrin flag" saying that such an act plays into the hands of those wanting to shift responsibility for the crisis in Montenegro onto Serbia.

"Without getting into the various statements coming from Montenegro trying to falsely shift responsibility for the crisis in Montenegro from the adoption of the Law on Freedom of Religion, which is directed against the Serbian people and the Serbian Orthodox Church, onto Serbia - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemns in the strongest terms the burning of the Montenegrin flag," Dacic conveyed the position of the Ministry to Tanjug.
