"For the elites of the former Yugoslavia’s successor states, such as Montenegro, EU accession remains a goal to be achieved at any cost. They present ‘Europe’ as a joyful step for the future of their peoples and countries: the moment when the contradictions and ethnic conflicts would be able to disappear once and for all. Reality has demonstrated that, after exacerbating ethnic divisions and seeking to replace the administrative borders of Yugoslavia with ethnic borders, the situation not only failed to improve, but these peoples’ living conditions also declined. The ethnic divisions are far from resolved and there is a serious risk that new actors and conflicts will emerge in Montenegro and in the region’s other countries. This is a process that the majority in Parliament are feeding with this resolution: they are holding up the virtues of this country’s EU accession, whilst fostering continued divisions by putting ethnicity before the rights of all its inhabitants. After dividing and attacking these peoples, and opening up wounds, the major powers of the EU and NATO intend to impose their economic dominance, and to exploit peoples and the natural resources of these countries."@en1
