Russia will benefit from our joining NATO – Montenegrin President

Montenegro is one of Europe's smallest and poorest countries, but it is not holding back when it comes to trying to join some of the world's biggest military and economic clubs. RT spoke to its president Filip Vujanovic.
It does not hurt to have a billionaire Thai political exile, Taksin, in Montenegro where he is often seen. Speculation swirls around his status: frequent visitor or a citizen? Either way, as he is too hot for London, a nice, pleasant out of place protectorate is found for his comfort. Montenegro does not have any control over its destiny, so all platitudes and bromides about "good economy" are really irrelevant. Nobody is asking people for their oppinion. They have non-descript options to vote for, and it actually does not matter who wins. As any other indebted small country, it is riding the back of the financial tiger, and holding on for its dear life.
What a miserable creature that Vujanovic!! He blurted out a load of crap and I do not have any idea about who does he expect to believe him. It seems he really believes Russia is going to be sincerely delighted when MonteNegro enters NATO. What a lunatic. Montenegrinos should keep in mind that they will be regreting heavily for having joined NATO after the global situation turns into a change along a right direction, coinciding with the decline of western powers. From my personal contacts I positicely know that both Presidents, Medvedev and Putin, are very far from being satisfied with the present leadership of that small and poor country.

Montenegrins have a long and checkered history of double-dealing with aggressors in the Balkans starting with the Ottomans.I really don"t see how selling out the Serbs & joining NATO is any different from what they've done before.
You're wrong.Serbs of Montenegro were brave warriors,fightning the Ottomans and later,Germans,protecting Serbianity.In Battle of Mojkovac (1916.) montenegrin king Nikola's army was last Serbian stand-off against invading Austria-Hungarian and Bulgarian troops,allowing Serbian army to withdraw accros Albania.These modern "Montenegrins" in power are product of communistic division of Serbian national corpus.People of Montenegro are denied their Serbianity,by their rulers.In progress is making of new Montenegrin language (which is nothing,but dialect of Serbian),false history (in which Serbs were aggressors???It's like - Serbs attacking themselves - absurd).Serbs in Montenegro mustn't allow for things to go too far (but who asks them?)...
