"In light of his policy change at the end of the 1990s -- from a proponent of union with Serbia to a promoter of independent Montenegro – and as his coalition partner and associate, I have respect for his decisive contribution to the renewal of the Montenegrin state," Rakcevic said.
"Uzimajući u obzir njegov politički zaokret krajem 90-ih - od zagovornika unije sa Srbijom do promotera nezavisne Crne Gore - i kao njegov koalicioni partner i saradnik, poštujem njegov odlučujući doprinos obnovi crnogorske države," kaže Rakčević.
