Putin: Montenegro has always been close to Russia, joining sanctions is populism. “The people who live there are close to us both in faith and culture,” the Russian leader noted.
In December it was reported that the opening ceremony of the monument to Alexander Nevsky took place in the Montenegrin city of Andrijevica. The head of state said this during a meeting with participants of the World Youth Festival (WYF) in Montenegrin capital, Podgorica.
