Former Montenegrin President: Circles from Belgrade Attempted to Destabilize Kosovo

Former Milo Đukanović has stated that powerful political and security circles from Belgrade were behind the so-called “S.Ç. affair,” with the aim of destabilizing Montenegro and compromising Kosovo ahead of important political processes in the region.

In an interview with E Television, Đukanović emphasized that behind these operations were Serbian military security and counterintelligence structures linked to the politics of the era of Slobodan Milošević and the cabinet of former Yugoslav President Vojislav Koštunica.

He said these circles believed that destabilizing Kosovo would slow down or prevent its international recognition.

According to him, one of the primary objectives of those structures was also to damage the image of the NATO mission KFOR.

“The goal was to compromise KFOR in Kosovo and its military command. For this purpose, 27 girls were being prepared to approach senior KFOR military officials. Among them was S.Ç.,” Đukanović declared, according to KosovaPress.

According to him, Montenegrin authorities had obtained information that the girls were being trained at the stadium facilities of the Obilić football club in Belgrade.

“Fortunately, KFOR and UNMIK managed to receive the information in time and prevent that activity,” he said.

According to Đukanović, the “S.Ç. affair” was part of a broader political and security strategy against Montenegro’s independence and against Euro-Atlantic processes in the region.
