Montenegro proposes split

By V. S. Sambandan

PODGORICA (Serbia-Montenegro): Montenegro officially proposed a final split from Serbia on Wednesday, suggesting that the two Balkan republics recognise each other as sovereign states. Montenegro's President, Filip Vujanovic, and the Prime Minister, Milo Djukanovic, announced the proposal as the draft Agreement on Transformation of Serbia-Montenegro into a Commonwealth of Independent and Internationally Recognised States, and sent it to Serbia's leadership for consideration. If accepted by Belgrade, the deal would abolish what little has remained of the Serbia-Montenegro union, established in 2003 under European Union auspices as a successor state to the already truncated version of the former Yugoslavia. The document signed by Mr. Djukanovic and Mr. Vujanovic said Montenegro offers ``a new model of relations ... which would resolve the current shortcomings and ensure lasting, stable and quality cooperation.'' — AP
