Minister Vulin: Serbia remembers both good and evil and repays everyone according to their deeds

“Serbia remembers everything and Serbia does not forget anything. Serbia does not forget anyone's good, Serbia does not forget anyone's evil. It strives and makes every effort to repay everyone according to their deeds. Momir Bulatović deserved a grateful memory with his life. He is a man who, when the civil war in the former Yugoslavia started, he did not hesitate to stand by his people. He is a man who, when the aggression against FR Yugoslavia began, did not ask for justification to take refuge from NATO pact, but stood by his people again. And when they were destroying his brothers he still stood by his people. Therefore, he deserved a grateful memory with his life; and Serbia remembers good, remembers evil and repays everyone according to their lives and deeds”, defense minister Aleksandar Vulin said leading the delegation of the Republic of Serbia at the funeral of former President of Montenegro and the Federal Government of the FRY at the Čepurci cemetery in Podgorica where friends and citizens expressed their condolences to Momir Bulatović’s family.

Minister Vulin said that, on behalf of president Aleksandar Vučić and on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, he conveyed to Bulatović family expressions of deepest sympathy, as well as to all citizens of Montenegro, but also to his Serbian people, because it is a huge loss for the Serbian people.

Defence minister Aleksandar Vulin laid wreaths on behalf of president of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić and the Government of the Republic of Serbia.

Former president of Montenegro and prime minister of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Momir Bulatović, will be buried at the cemetery in the village of Rača near Kuči, not far from Podgorica, at 3 pm.
