Jovana Todorović, member of the Budva parliament and spokeswoman for the Democratic People’s Party (DNP) of Milan Knežević, said that “the shameful banners insulting the President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, which appeared in Bečići, represent an unacceptable act and another attempt to spread hatred in Budva”.
“The fact that these banners, with their content and messages, irresistibly remind us of the same political handwriting that we had the opportunity to see on December 30, 2025, when Budva Parking Service vehicles were sent to Botun, in violation of the law, to participate in a political confrontation with citizens who protested against the construction of a plant that threatens their environment. That is why today there is a justified suspicion that behind these provocations are the same structures that have survived for years exclusively on divisions, conflicts and production hatred”, claims Todorović.
She said that the DNP demands an immediate reaction from the competent authorities, identifying and prosecuting those responsible for putting up these banners because, as she said, public insults and the spread of hatred must not go unanswered by the state.
“At the same time, the complete silence of the Municipality of Budva and the head of the local self-government, Nikola Jovanović, is worrying. The lack of condemnation of such an incident opens up room for doubt that the local government has no problem with hate messages addressed to the President of Serbia and the citizens of Serbia who support him. After all, it is difficult to expect consistency from people who, for the sake of power, trampled on all their political promises, principles and word given to the citizens, and entered into a coalition with the Democratic Party of Socialists without any problems, when it comes to values that were once public represented”, he says.
Todorović pointed out that Serbian citizens are always welcome in Budva and Montenegro.
“They are our friends, godfathers, relatives and brothers and they will always be greeted with respect and sincere hospitality. Budva is their city as much as it is ours, and they will always feel at home here. Also, the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, is always welcome in Budva and Paštrovići, just as any person who comes with good intentions and respect for our city and its citizens is welcome,” she said.
Budva, he says, must not be a place of political hatred and confrontation.
“Already a city open to all people of good will, a city of brotherhood, hospitality and mutual respect,” concluded the DNP spokeswoman.
