REFERENDUM PER LA SECESSIONE, IL GOVERNO FEDERALE SPERA
DI NO MA NON SI OPPONE
REFERENDUM YES, BUT AS FINAL SOLUTION YUGOSLAV PRESIDENT'S
ADVISOR
BELGRADE, November 22 (Tanjug) There is no problem for the
people
of Montenegro to vote for separating from Yugoslavia, if they want to,
but
they should do so in a democratic way acceptable to Europe, the Yugoslav
President's political adviser Slobodan Samardzic said on Tuesday
evening.
Until then, Yugoslavia will be represented in international
relations as a whole, a stand clearly expressed by the European Union,
Samardzic told the YU INFO television station.
Samardzic welcomed a referendum both in Serbia and in
Montenegro,
but not as "the first, but as the last resort."
"Before that, we must apply all democratic forms to help the
people get a precise image of the future joint state through
presidential
and executive bodies, views of experts and the media," Samardzic said.
DJUKANOVIC SI RITIENE PRESIDENTE DI UNO STATO INDIPENDENTE
SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO INDEPENDENT STATES MONTENEGRIN PRESIDENT
PRAGUE, November 22 (Tanjug) Montenegrin President Milo
Djukanovic said late on Tuesday in Prague that Montenegro would in the
following months invest the necessary patience in an attempt to solve
the
issue of future relations between Serbia and Montenegro through an
agreement with Serbia's new democratic government.
Djukanovic went on to say that the Yugoslav federation should
not
be involved in negotiations between Serbia and Montenegro as a third
entity. He added that, in the present situation, he sees Serbia and
Montenegro as two independent states.
Djukanovic was speaking at a joint press conference with Czech
President Vaclav Havel, who received Djukanovic Tuesday evening at his
request.
Djukanovic told journalists that he had presented to his host a
draft platform for organizing future relations between Serbia and
Montenegro. Its starting point is the acknowledgement of the present
situation in which, as he said, Serbia and Montenegro are two
independent
states.
If it turns out that there is no interest in Serbia for working
out such a solution, then it is clear that Montenegro will in the first
few
months of 2001 be compelled to call a referendum in order to test public
opinion on independence, Djukanovic said, adding that he personally
supported the idea of holding a referendum.
DJUKANOVIC A ZAGABRIA COME UN CAPO DI STATO?
DJUKANOVIC WILL ADDRESS ZAGREB E.U. SUMMIT
PODGORICA, November 22 (Tanjug) Montenegrin President Milo
Djukanovic confirmed in Prague late Tuesday that he has been invited to
attend the Zagreb summit of the European Union on November 24 and said
his
invitation was in no way different from those sent to other participants
in
the meeting.
The daily Pobjeda of Podgorica on Wednesday carried excerpts
from
Djukanovic's press conference following his meeting with Czech President
Waclav Havel. Djukanovic was quoted as saying it was relevant for him
that
he would address the Zagreb summit on behalf of Montenegro.
Djukanovic said this was very important for Montenegro, since
it
should be in every place where the future of the region to which it
belongs
is being mapped out, Pobjeda said.
"IL MONTENEGRO DEVE BADARE AI SUOI PROPRI INTERESSI"
MONTENEGRO MUST LOOK AFTER ITS OWN INTERESTS, LUKOVAC SAYS
PODGORICA, November 17 (Tanjug) Montenegrin Foreign Minister
Branko Lukovac considers that the majority of citizens of that republic
unreservedly support the project of an internationally recognized state
and
that such a position will be confirmed at a future referendum.
Speaking at a panel of the "Nansen dialogue center" in
Podgorica,
Lukovac said on Thursday evening that the position of Montenegro was to
enter into any cooperation or alliance with Serbia, just as with any
other
country or community of states, as an internationally recognized
subject.
"Now the majority of citizens, particularly young, unreservedly
support the project and such a position will be confirmed also at a
referendum," Lukovac said.
The Montenegrin Foreign Minister assessed that "in Serbia, for
the
greatest part, there is no understanding for such a proposal of
establishing future relations, and it is perceived as an aspiration for
secession."
He pointed out that the most important thing was the
disposition
of the citizens of Montenegro and that Montenegro must look after its
own
interests.
CHI RAPPRESENTERA' IL MONTENEGRO A ZAGABRIA?
WILL DJUKANOVIC AND KOSTUNICA ATTEND ZAGREB SUMMIT
ZAGREB, November 17 (Tanjug) Montenegro's President Milo
Djukanovic will 'almost certainly' not attend a summit of Balkan and
European nations in Zagreb, the Croatian Jutarnji list daily reported on
Friday, quoting an European foreign minister who spoke on condition of
anonymity.
Relying on unofficial sources, the Zagreb daily said that Yugoslav
President Vojislav Kostunica's attendance is also uncertain, allegedly
because of protests announced in Croatia against his arrival. Jutarnji
list
said that it had not been able to get confirmation of this from
Kostunica's
presidential cabinet.
An organization protecting the 'dignity of the patriotic war' has
vowed to protest both against Kostunica's visit to Zagreb and the
Croatian
officials who had failed to address with Kostunica the issues of POWs,
missing persons, and war reparations.
ANCHE A WASHINGTON IL GOVERNO DEL MONTENEGRO PARLA DI INDIPENDENZA
CONFERENCE ON YUGOSLAVIA'S RECONSTRUCTION
NEW YORK, November 14 (Tanjug) A conference on Yugoslavia's
reconstruction, which was attended by representatives of U.S. companies
interested in this endeavour and organized by the Washingtonbased Center
for Reconstruction and Development, ended late on Monday.
The meeting was attended by presidential Economic Adviser
Dragana
Djuric, as Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica's envoy, and
Montenegrin
government Foreign Trade Adviser Predrag Nenezic, as a representative of
Montenegro.
Djuric read a letter from the Yugoslav president in which he
expressed gratitude to the conference organizers for having rallied
those
who want to help the democratic processes and stimulate the economic
development of Yugoslavia.
Kostunica expressed sincere hopes that the conference would be
successful and that it would result in fruitful economic cooperation
between Yugoslav and U.S. businessmen.
Underscoring that Yugoslavia had begun to live a new life in
the
past 40 days and that the first results could already be felt, Djuric
stressed the extreme importance of the start of talks between Yugoslavia
and representatives of the World Bank and the International Monetary
Fund
on the country's return to these institutions.
It is the orientation of the new government and President
Kostunica to begin economic growth and development as soon as possible,
she
said, and this cannot be achieved without cementing foreign
relations. Nenezic said the Montenegrin government believes the
republic's economic and political independence would contribute to its
speedier economic development.
Djuric again took the floor after Nenezic's speech. She
emphasized
that she had believed the conference to be devoted to Yugoslavia's
reconstruction and not to the struggle for Montenegro's political
independence.

YUGOSLAV DEFENCE MINISTRY AND YUGOSLAV ARMY GENERAL STAFF
SESSION
BELGRADE, November 14 (Tanjug) Senior officials of the
Yugoslav
Defence Ministry and the Yugoslav Army General Staff met at a joint
session
in Belgrade on Tuesday, the General Staff press service said today.
Discussed were current problems of military financing after
Montenegro abolished the use of the dinar in its territory.
Regarding the forthcoming reorganization and modernization of
the
Yugoslav Army, it was underscored that this is a process during which it
is
necessary to bear in mind that the military must not be placed in a
position which would threaten its role within the Yugoslav defence
system.
Also discussed were issues linked to the planning of the 2001
defence budget and the legal regulation of the status of the members of
the
Yugoslav Army and the federal Defence Ministry, the statement said.
DJUKANOVIC CHIEDE LA SEPARAZIONE CONSENSUALE
DJUKANOVIC URGES RADICAL REORGANISATION OF YUGOSLAVIA
PODGORICA, November 10 (Tanjug) Montenegro's President Milo
Djukanovic said on Friday Montenegro would hold a referendum on
secession
from Yugoslavia unless relations with Serbia were radically reorganised,
including international recognition of both.
"I think that a union between Serbia and Montenegro is
possible,
but on completely new foundations", Djukanovic said in an interview with
the Associated Press.
"Presentday Yugoslavia must be changed to the union of two
internationally recognized states", he added.
The United States, Germany and other western countries are
urging
Montenegro to abandon its push for independence as it jeopardises
Western
plans for peace in KosovoMetohija, the Balkans' powderkeg, according to
the
AP.
IN MONTENEGRO IL MARCO TEDESCO VALE 36 DINARI
YUGOSLAV DINAR NO LONGER LEGAL TENDER IN MONTENEGRO AS OF
MONDAY
PODGORICA, November 10 (Tanjug) Yugoslavia's currency, the
dinar,
will no longer be legal tender in Montenegro as of Monday, November 13,
according to that Yugoslav republic's senior financial official on
Friday.
Dimitrije Vesovic, who heads the Montenegrin Payments and
Accounts
Service, said the people could trade in their dinars for deutsche marks
at
a 36to1 exchange rate by Monday, with a certificate to prove the origin
of
the dinars.
The Montenegrin parliament last week passed a law on the
central
bank, which envisages for scrapping the dinar in favour of the Dmark.
YUGOSLAV DINAR TO BE EXCLUDED FROM MONTENEGRIN PAYMENT SYSTEM
PODGORICA, Nov 9 (Tanjug) The Yugoslav national currency
(dinar)
will be excluded from the payment system of Montenegro on Monday,
Nov.13,
monetary authorities in Podgorica said on Thursday.
According to them, the law on the Central Bank of Montenegro
will
come into force on Nov.11, and there is no reason for its provision,
which
stipulates an end to the use of the dinar in the payment system, not to
be
applied starting next Monday.
The exact day of this "operation" will be determined at
Friday's
meeting of the Monetary Council of Montenegro.
The meeting will also discuss the procedure of converting the
existing dinar mass from the drawing accounts into Dmarks.
DJUKANOVIC: "I PROBLEMI SENZA MILOSEVIC RESTANO"
DJUKANOVIC WANTS YUGOSLAVIA REPLACED BY UNION WITH SERBIA
PRAGUE, Nov 6 (Tanjug) Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic
said
in Prague late on Sunday the existing Yugoslav state, "which is not
functioning, should be replaced by a Union of Serbia and Montenegro,
with a
common army, foreign policy and currency".
In a programme rerun on Monday, Djukanovic was quoted as saying
that the "federation of Serbia and Montenegro has been a fiction from
the
start...
"Problems have not ended with the departure of Slobodan
Milosevic
as Yugoslav president.
"Over the past three years, Montenegro has taken over from the
federal state a part of its functions in order to protect itself against
the dictatorship of Slobodan Milosevic.
"This state should now be legalised, and Serbia and Montenegro
recognised as international entities represented in the United Nations",
he
stressed.
Djukanovic said that only the army and flight control were
operational of all federal institutions, and that it would be irrational
"to try on this basis to form some kind of fourth Yugoslavia from the
two
independent states".
IL GOVERNO DEL MONTENEGRO NON RICONOSCE LA SOVRANITA' FEDERALE SUL
TERRITORIO DEL MONTENEGRO
YUGOSLAV GOVERNMENT DECISIONS WILL NOT BE VALID IN MONTENEGRO
BELGRADE, Nov 6 (Tanjug) Montenegrin presidential adviser
Miodrag
Vukovic has told the British Broadcasting Corporation that the decisions
of
the federal government will not be valid in the territory of Montenegro,
Belgrade's Radio B92 said on Monday.
"Montenegro also does not intend to place any of its functions
back to the federal level, either," Vukovic said.
"There must be respect for the fact that the present Yugoslavia
is
a temporary state which should do certain jobs for Serbia, and partly
also
for Montenegro," he said.
Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica himself has asked for a
delay in the defining of Montenegro's status, he said.
Visiting Montenegro on two occasions, Kostunica "told us
publicly,
actually asked us, not to do anything and not to step up the processes
of
defining the statelegal status of Montenegro until a democratic Serbia
is
constituted," Vukovic said. "Kostunica is himself aware that this
Yugoslavia is a transitional solution," Vukovic said.
NEMMENO L'AMMISSIONE DELLA RFJ ALL'ONU PUO' SEDARE LA SPINTA
SECESSIONISTA
YUGOSLAVIA'S ADMISSION TO U.N. DID NOT RESOLVE
RELATIONS BETWEEN ITS TWO REPUBLICS - DJUKANOVIC
BELGRADE, November 3 (Tanjug) Montenegrin President Milo
Djukanovic said late Thursday in an interview to Serbian Radio
Television
that Yugoslavia's admission to the United Nations has created conditions
for Serbia to receive international credits so that it can start
resolving
its major economic problems as soon as possible, but that this did not
resolve the issue of relations between Serbia and Montenegro.
During the process of adoption of the decision to admit
Yugoslavia
to the United Nations, Montenegro had informed the SecretaryGeneral and
all
international organizations that this Republic "welcomes what has
transpired in Serbia" and that it is interested in Belgrade receiving
substantial economic aid as soon as possible for settling its economic
problems, Djukanovic said.
"At the same time, we informed them that we have begun a
process
of talks with Serbia on the redefining of our relations, and that one of
the possible models is that Serbia and Montenegro could be U.N. members
in
future," he said, adding that "this does immediately provide a solution
for
relations between Serbia and Montenegro."
Speaking about the September 24 elections in Yugoslavia,
Djukanovic said the results of these elections both in Montenegro and in
Serbia had been "fascinating."
"In Serbia, the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS) took part
in
the elections and carried off a glorious victory over dictatorship, and
in
Montenegro, the people also carried off a great democratic victory by
boycotting an attempt to humiliate Montenegro," Djukanovic said.
The danger of a war breaking out in southeastern Europe has
been
removed with the fall of Slobodan Milosevic, he said.
"I believe this is a time when we have, I trust, enough
democratic
sense in the majority policies both in Serbia and in Montenegro, to try
and
agree on a solution which will satisfy the majority populations in
Serbia
and Montenegro, and which will open prospects for Serbia and Montenegro
to
become part of developed European society," Djukanovic said.
IL REFERENDUM PER LA SECESSIONE SI TERRA' ENTRO GIUGNO
REFERENDUM BY JUNE 2001
PODGORICA, November 3 (Tanjug) A referendum on state status
will
be held in Montenegro by June 2001 at the latest, irrespective of the
agreement that might be reached on future relations between Montenegro
and
Serbia, the daily Vijesti of Podgorica said on Friday.
The daily carried conclusions from a closed session of the
leaders
of the ruling coalition in this Yugoslav republic.
Vijesti said presidents Milo Djukanovic of the Democratic Party
of
Socialists (DPS), Dragan Soc of the People's Party (NS), and Zarko
Rakcevic
of the Social Democrat Party (SDP) concluded at the meeting held late on
Wednesday that preparations for the referendum should begin immediately.
Work on the law on referendum and media rules on the referendum
campaign should be completed by the end of December.
Djukanovic, Soc and Rakcevic agreed the best alternative would
be
for all parliamentary parties to agree about the contents of the law by
consensus.
SECONDO IL GOVERNO MONTENEGRINO LA RFJ E' UNO STATO SENZA SOVRANITA' IN
KOSOVO COSI' COME IN MONTENEGRO
MONTENEGRO BELIEVES "PROBLEM STATE" HAS BEEN ADMITTED TO U.N.
BELGRADE, November 2 (Tanjug) Montenegrin President Milo
Djukanovic's adviser has said in a statement to Tanjug, commenting on
Yugoslavia's admission to the United Nations, that it would have been
better and more rational if relations between Serbia and Montenegro had
first been settled, since a "problem state" has been admitted to the
world
organization.
This state has no sovereignty over Kosovo and Metohija or
Montenegro and it is absolutely illegitimate to Montenegro, Miodrag
Vukovic
said late on Wednesday.
"The international community is unbelievable," he said. "Why is
it
in a hurry to admit a state which is temporary both for Serbia and for
Montenegro."
Vukovic asked why they did not wait for an agreement on the
state
which will be called a community of Serbia and Montenegro, and which
would
be admitted to the U.N. separately, as Montenegro proposes.
"The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia inherited by Kostunica has
neither national nor formal legitimacy," he said. Montenegro does not
intend to transfer to Yugoslavia "that part of its sovereignty which is
currently within its state portfolio," said Vukovic.
DJUKANOVIC NON SI FA RAPPRESENTARE DA KOSTUNICA
DJUKANOVIC'S DELEGATION TO GO TO ZAGREB WITH KOSTUNICA'S
DELEGATION
ZAGREB, October 31 (Tanjug) Montenegrin President Milo
Djukanovic's delegation to the European UnionBalkans summit in Zagreb
should be part of the delegation of Yugoslav President Vojislav
Kostunica,
EU states maintain, as quoted by a Croatian paper on Tuesday.
This view is held by France, which holds the EU rotating
presidency, and shared by the other EU members, on the grounds that this
Yugoslav republic does not have state status, Vecernji List writes.
If Djukanovic does sit down behind Kostunica, then he will be
recognising the present political and legal order in Yugoslavia and
signalling that he is no longer considering independence, the paper
says,
asking how he would explain this back in Montenegro.
Should Djukanovic refuse to attend the November 24 summit on
these
terms, however, he risks being branded a bad guy, destructive and
uncooperative, Vecernji List says.
The Zagreb daily believes Djukanovic will not be able to get
any
international support for Montenegro's independence as long as Kostunica
"dances to the western tune".
This is the fate and political weight of statesmen and
politicians
in these climes, according to the paper.

BELGRADE, Nov 6 (Tanjug) Montenegrin presidential adviser
Miodrag
Vukovic has told the British Broadcasting Corporation that the decisions
of
the federal government will not be valid in the territory of Montenegro,
Belgrade's Radio B92 said on Monday.
"Montenegro also does not intend to place any of its functions
back to the federal level, either," Vukovic said.
"There must be respect for the fact that the present Yugoslavia
is
a temporary state which should do certain jobs for Serbia, and partly
also
for Montenegro," he said.
Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica himself has asked for a
delay in the defining of Montenegro's status, he said.
Visiting Montenegro on two occasions, Kostunica "told us
publicly,
actually asked us, not to do anything and not to step up the processes
of
defining the statelegal status of Montenegro until a democratic Serbia
is
constituted," Vukovic said. "Kostunica is himself aware that this
Yugoslavia is a transitional solution," Vukovic said.
NEMMENO L'AMMISSIONE DELLA RFJ ALL'ONU PUO' SEDARE LA SPINTA
SECESSIONISTA
YUGOSLAVIA'S ADMISSION TO U.N. DID NOT RESOLVE
RELATIONS BETWEEN ITS TWO REPUBLICS - DJUKANOVIC
BELGRADE, November 3 (Tanjug) Montenegrin President Milo
Djukanovic said late Thursday in an interview to Serbian Radio
Television
that Yugoslavia's admission to the United Nations has created conditions
for Serbia to receive international credits so that it can start
resolving
its major economic problems as soon as possible, but that this did not
resolve the issue of relations between Serbia and Montenegro.
During the process of adoption of the decision to admit
Yugoslavia
to the United Nations, Montenegro had informed the SecretaryGeneral and
all
international organizations that this Republic "welcomes what has
transpired in Serbia" and that it is interested in Belgrade receiving
substantial economic aid as soon as possible for settling its economic
problems, Djukanovic said.
"At the same time, we informed them that we have begun a
process
of talks with Serbia on the redefining of our relations, and that one of
the possible models is that Serbia and Montenegro could be U.N. members
in
future," he said, adding that "this does immediately provide a solution
for
relations between Serbia and Montenegro."
Speaking about the September 24 elections in Yugoslavia,
Djukanovic said the results of these elections both in Montenegro and in
Serbia had been "fascinating."
"In Serbia, the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS) took part
in
the elections and carried off a glorious victory over dictatorship, and
in
Montenegro, the people also carried off a great democratic victory by
boycotting an attempt to humiliate Montenegro," Djukanovic said.
The danger of a war breaking out in southeastern Europe has
been
removed with the fall of Slobodan Milosevic, he said.
"I believe this is a time when we have, I trust, enough
democratic
sense in the majority policies both in Serbia and in Montenegro, to try
and
agree on a solution which will satisfy the majority populations in
Serbia
and Montenegro, and which will open prospects for Serbia and Montenegro
to
become part of developed European society," Djukanovic said.
IL REFERENDUM PER LA SECESSIONE SI TERRA' ENTRO GIUGNO
REFERENDUM BY JUNE 2001
PODGORICA, November 3 (Tanjug) A referendum on state status
will
be held in Montenegro by June 2001 at the latest, irrespective of the
agreement that might be reached on future relations between Montenegro
and
Serbia, the daily Vijesti of Podgorica said on Friday.
The daily carried conclusions from a closed session of the
leaders
of the ruling coalition in this Yugoslav republic.
Vijesti said presidents Milo Djukanovic of the Democratic Party
of
Socialists (DPS), Dragan Soc of the People's Party (NS), and Zarko
Rakcevic
of the Social Democrat Party (SDP) concluded at the meeting held late on
Wednesday that preparations for the referendum should begin immediately.
Work on the law on referendum and media rules on the referendum
campaign should be completed by the end of December.
Djukanovic, Soc and Rakcevic agreed the best alternative would
be
for all parliamentary parties to agree about the contents of the law by
consensus.
SECONDO IL GOVERNO MONTENEGRINO LA RFJ E' UNO STATO SENZA SOVRANITA' IN
KOSOVO COSI' COME IN MONTENEGRO
MONTENEGRO BELIEVES "PROBLEM STATE" HAS BEEN ADMITTED TO U.N.
BELGRADE, November 2 (Tanjug) Montenegrin President Milo
Djukanovic's adviser has said in a statement to Tanjug, commenting on
Yugoslavia's admission to the United Nations, that it would have been
better and more rational if relations between Serbia and Montenegro had
first been settled, since a "problem state" has been admitted to the
world
organization.
This state has no sovereignty over Kosovo and Metohija or
Montenegro and it is absolutely illegitimate to Montenegro, Miodrag
Vukovic
said late on Wednesday.
"The international community is unbelievable," he said. "Why is
it
in a hurry to admit a state which is temporary both for Serbia and for
Montenegro."
Vukovic asked why they did not wait for an agreement on the
state
which will be called a community of Serbia and Montenegro, and which
would
be admitted to the U.N. separately, as Montenegro proposes.
"The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia inherited by Kostunica has
neither national nor formal legitimacy," he said. Montenegro does not
intend to transfer to Yugoslavia "that part of its sovereignty which is
currently within its state portfolio," said Vukovic.
DJUKANOVIC NON SI FA RAPPRESENTARE DA KOSTUNICA
DJUKANOVIC'S DELEGATION TO GO TO ZAGREB WITH KOSTUNICA'S
DELEGATION
ZAGREB, October 31 (Tanjug) Montenegrin President Milo
Djukanovic's delegation to the European UnionBalkans summit in Zagreb
should be part of the delegation of Yugoslav President Vojislav
Kostunica,
EU states maintain, as quoted by a Croatian paper on Tuesday.
This view is held by France, which holds the EU rotating
presidency, and shared by the other EU members, on the grounds that this
Yugoslav republic does not have state status, Vecernji List writes.
If Djukanovic does sit down behind Kostunica, then he will be
recognising the present political and legal order in Yugoslavia and
signalling that he is no longer considering independence, the paper
says,
asking how he would explain this back in Montenegro.
Should Djukanovic refuse to attend the November 24 summit on
these
terms, however, he risks being branded a bad guy, destructive and
uncooperative, Vecernji List says.
The Zagreb daily believes Djukanovic will not be able to get
any
international support for Montenegro's independence as long as Kostunica
"dances to the western tune".
This is the fate and political weight of statesmen and
politicians
in these climes, according to the paper.
