As announced by the Ministry of Defense, Krapović today laid wreaths at the "People's Hero Milovan Šaranović" barracks in Danilovgrad and "Vojvoda Marko Miljanov Popović" in Podgorica, on the occasion of the anniversary of the beginning of the NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999.
"Today, we remember with reverence all the innocent victims and express our deep sympathy to their families. Their suffering remains a lasting warning about the consequences of conflict and the importance of preserving peace," said Krapović.
He emphasized that it is important to cultivate a culture of remembrance and responsibly view the contemporary security context.
"We are aware that the events of 1999 have left a deep mark on our society. Today, as a member of NATO, Montenegro operates in a significantly different security framework, contributing to joint efforts to preserve peace and stability," said Krapović.
He emphasized that Montenegro's membership in NATO implies a responsibility to build a more secure future through partnership and dialogue.
"Our obligation is to contribute to peace, cooperation and stability by learning from the past," concluded Krapović.
As stated in the statement, wreaths were also laid by the Chief of the General Staff of the Army of Montenegro. Miodrag Vuksanovic.
