In the next week, the negotiations on changes to the constitution will be activated.

"The essence of the constitutional changes is that they are not controversial and we all agree with that. There is no other categorization in our constitutional order that excludes or includes one or another community. Why, if certain communities are included in the constitution, should they be excluded Montenegrins, Croats and Bulgarians and what will be the consequences for the country? Our most recognizable image in the world is the relationship between communities, inter-ethnic harmony, multicultural democracy. This is our biggest asset that opens doors for us. We have become an example of a country , which in a difficult region managed to create multi-ethnic harmony, which is already becoming an example of how other countries can solve their own problems", the foreign minister also pointed out.
