Ever thought diplomatic meetings are just boring protocols? Think again! Montenegro’s Deputy Prime Minister for Education, Science, and Relations with Religious Communities, Dr. Budimir Aleksić, recently met with Russian Ambassador Aleksandr Lukašik. The goal? To strengthen ties between Montenegro and Russia. But is this really more than just empty talk?
Big Words, But What’s Behind Them?
Aleksić emphasized that all humanity should walk the path of peace and prosperity, and that there’s significant room to improve bilateral relations in education, science, and culture between Russia and Montenegro. Sounds nice, right? But how realistic is it? Montenegro has a long tradition of studying Russian, and interest in the language has grown in recent decades. Is this a sign of real closeness or just diplomatic theater?
Sports: The Bridge Between Peoples
While Aleksić and Lukašik talk about science and culture, Minister of Youth and Sports Dragoslav Šćekić and the same ambassador discuss sports and youth policy. They plan joint youth programs and friendly matches between Montenegro’s and Russia’s youth teams. Sport as a universal language connecting nations? Maybe. But will it be enough to overcome political tensions and real problems?
Just a Show for the Public?
These meetings are hailed as big steps toward better cooperation, but many citizens remain skeptical. Will anything really change from these words and plans? Or is this just another diplomatic ritual that ends up in a drawer?
Conclusion
Relations between Montenegro and Russia are old and complex. Meetings like these matter, but the real questions remain: how sincere are they, and will they lead to real change? While we wait for answers, maybe it’s time to ask — are these bridges of peace really there, or just an illusion?
