“Distinguished citizens,

Archbishop Gashi, Bishop Janjić,

I wish you to spend these upcoming festive days in the warmth of your homes with your close ones celebrating one of the greatest Christian holidays. Let this be a moment for celebrating and strengthening universal human values and human warmth.

We protect and defend Montenegro and its civil spirit on those values, by respecting differences, solidarity, harmony and taking care about our close ones and those who need help.

I wish a good health, peace, personal and family happiness to all of you who celebrate Christmas according to the Georgian calendar. We will fight all challenges of the new age with harmony and understanding and we will make our common house- Montenegro stronger and suitable for all.

On behalf of the Parliament of Montenegro and my own behalf, I wish you a merry Christmas”.

Ranko Krivokapić
