Ana Brnabić, President of the National Assembly of Serbia, criticized Montenegrin Prime Minister Milojko Spajić, alleging his recent criticisms of Belgrade lack integrity and align with Russian interests. Brnabić noted that Spajić had previously sought support from Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić during his own political struggles and highlighted regional friction regarding the commemoration of Operation Storm. In Montenegro, Mirko Miličić of Nova srpska demokratija criticized media narratives that portray the current government as anti-Serbian. He argued that such polemics weaken the Serbian political factor and benefit the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS). Miličić emphasized the need to protect the Serbian Orthodox Church and prevent discrimination against Serbs in social and professional life, asserting that political shifts do not sever the deep-rooted ties between Montenegro and Serbia. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-17: Mirko Miličić criticizes media narratives on Serbs in Montenegro Nova srpska demokratija spokesperson Mirko Miličić claims media narratives undermining the Serbian political factor in Montenegro are working to strengthen the DPS. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mirko-milii-criticizes-media-narratives-on-serbs-in-montenegro ### 2026-08-11: Ana Brnabić criticizes Montenegrin PM Milojko Spajić Serbian Assembly President Ana Brnabić criticized Montenegrin PM Milojko Spajić, alleging he previously sought help from President Vučić before criticizing Belgrade's policies. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ana-brnabi-criticizes-montenegrin-pm-milojko-spaji --- Cite as: Serbia-Montenegro political tensions.
