Vučić and Vulin outdid themselves by choosing the vocabulary with which they responded to Podgorica and Priština: there was "cheese from the bag" and "cocaine", while Đukanović and Kurti were declared "bloodthirsty hyenas" and "fly swatters".
Serbia bought missile systems from China. The President of Montenegro, Milo Đukanović, said at a conference held in Cetinje during the visit of the President of North Macedonia, Steve Pendarovski, that he was "worried" by this, because it was a "prolonged tendency to arm Serbia from countries that are not only competitors but also enemies of NATO members". . Pendarovski, on the other hand, said that he does not have an assessment that Serbia is a security threat.
In addition to Đukanović, the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Aljbin Kurti, also commented on the Chinese missile systems in Serbian possession, saying that Serbia is afraid that it could be left "alone". He also added that Serbian arming "is not harmless either for the region or for Kosovo", but also that "NATO is here to help".
The Serbian state leadership then defended Serbian national interests in its own way.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić gave his opinion on the words of Đukanović and Kurti first, evaluating their warnings as "an accelerated campaign to brand Serbia", because as he says, "they see their success in Serbia's failure".
And further: he personally "would rather accept the role of a lone wolf than a shameless and immoral hyena", because a wolf, as he explained, cannot be found in a circus.
"Even worse than hyenas, to whom you have to respect at least because of their bloodthirstiness, are buzzard flies that wait for the hyenas to bring them some prey", Vučić concluded, noting that Đukanović and Kurti are exactly that.
After Vučić, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Aleksandar Vulin, took the floor and metaphorically explained to the Serbian public, but also to the Montenegrin leadership, that Montenegro exported to Europe "more cocaine than cheese and more marijuana than prosciutto".
He also added that if Serbia wanted to harm Montenegro, after Milo's thirty years in command of the army, it would not need "Russian or Chinese systems", but "cavalry and police to break up riots" would be enough.
That it is not just about the conflict between Vučić and Dukanović, which many rightly consider to exist only on the political stage, is clearly seen from the "fight" between Prime Minister Ana Brnabić and outgoing Montenegrin Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapić. Namely, Krivokapić announced on his Twitter account that Vučić blackmailed him that the cereals in which Montenegro is in short supply will be delivered from Serbia only if Montenegro joins the "Open Balkans" initiative. Brnabić then asked him "how is he not ashamed to lie shamelessly".
One of the leaders of the Democratic Front, who often spoke in Belgrade, followed up on that and said that Krivokapić begged Brnabić for "wheat, flour, corn, sugar and table salt".
