JUGOSLAVIA: MONTENEGRO, MANIFESTAZIONE CONTRO INDIPENDENZA DA
FEDERAZIONE
(ANSA-AFP) - PODGORICA (JUGOSLAVIA), 18 APR - Cica 10 mila
simpatizzanti della coalizione tripartita 'Per la Jugoslavia' hanno
manifestato ieri sera a Podgorica contro l'indipendneza del Montenegro,
piccola
repubblica che assieme alla Serbia forma dal 1992 la Repubblica federale
di
Jugoslavia. ''Dopo le elezioni legislative di domenica prossima non vi
sara' nessun
referendum sull'indipendenza'', ha detto Predrag Bulatovic, il
presidente del
Partito socialista popolare (Snp), uno dei tre schieramenti della
coalizione.
Dicendosi certo della vittoria, Bulatovic ha assicurato che invece del
referendum
promesso dall'attuale presidente indipendentista Milo Djukanovic la sua
alleanza
riprendera' il dialogo con la Serbia ''per il futuro della Jugoslavia''.
Nel corso
della manifestazione sono stati scanditi slogan ostili a Djukanovic, che
i
nazionalisti [SIC] accusano di essere troppo allineato con l'Occidente.
Alle legislative
di domenica, che fanno seguito alle elezioni anticipate tenute in Serbia
lo scorso
dicembre, il partito di Djukanovic e' favorito. Il presidente
montenegrino vuole
staccarsi da Belgrado e dar vita ad una unione tra stati sovrani con la
Serbia. Il
presidente jugoslavo Vojilsav Kostunica, succeduto a Slobodan Milosevic
lo scorso
ottobre, non e' favorevole all'indipendenza del Montenegro ma ha detto
che, in caso
di referendum, si atterra' alla volonta' dei cittadini. (ANSA-AFP). ZU

MONTENEGRO'S FUTURE IS SAFE ONLY WITHIN YUGOSLAVIA
PODGORICA, April 18 (Tanjug) The coalition "Together for
Yugoslavia" is not fighting for the survival of the common state with
Serbia for the sake of Serbia, but because it is certain it is best for
Montenegro to be in a common state with that republic, Socialist
People's
Party President Predrag Bulatovic, the coalition election list's
principal
candidate, said late Tuesday.
Speaking at an election rally of this coalition in Podgorica,
Bulatovic said "the Montenegrin regime is preparing a trick...They want
to
maintain their personal and dictatorial power and privileges, to make an
independent Montenegro."
"Even though they mention some alliance with Serbia, they are
not
for a community with it, but for parting from Serbia and (for) borders,"
Bulatovic said.
He said the coalition would win at the Sunday parliamentary
elections in Montenegro and then continue dialogue with the democratic
authorities in Serbia on reorganizing the current Yugoslav federation.

SI RIPETE LO SCENARIO DEL 1991:
IL MINISTRO DEGLI ESTERI FRANCESE DICE DI NON APPOGGIARE
L'INDIPENDENZA DEL MONTENEGRO...
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY DOES NOT SUPPORT INDEPENDENCE OF MONTENEGRO
PARIS, April 12 (Tanjug) French Foreign Minister Hubert
Vedrine
said in Paris late Wednesday that the international Contact Group
supports
democratic Montenegro in democratic Yugoslavia, and that any unilateral
decision would mean stoppage of political, financial and economic aid of
the international community to this republic.
Foreign ministers of the country members of the Contact Group
for
former Yugoslavia said at a press conference after the meeting that
general
elections in KosovoMetohija should be held only if security conditions
are
fulfilled, if all communities participate in them, and refugees return
to
their homes.
Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov played a key role in the
finalization of this formulation, Tanjug said.
Ivanov told the press conference attended by foreign ministers
of
all country members that elections are the best way for forming
democratic
institutions, and that Russia in this respect cannot oppose them.
Asked by reporters whether he thinks that the general elections
in
KosovoMetohja should be held by the end of the year, U.S. State
Secretary
Colin Powell answered in the affirmative, while the other ministers did
not
give any time frames.
The Yugoslav authorities were sent a message of support for the
democratic changes, the undertaken measures towards reforms, the
establishing of a lawabiding state, and respect of the rights of
minorities.
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY DOES NOT SUPPORT SECESSION, SAYS
VEDRINE
PARIS, April 13 (Tanjug) The international community is
against
the possible secession of Montenegro from Yugoslavia and it does not
believe an independent Kosovo would be a good solution, French Foreign
Minister Hubert Vedrine has said.
One unilateral decision would provoke another, and then there
would be problems, Vedrine said in talks with reporters from Macedonia,
BosniaHerzegovina, and Albania after the end of the Contact Group
meeting
in Paris on Wednesday.
Asked how the world would react if Montenegro nevertheless opts
for independence, Vedrine said the international community was not
obliged
to say what it would do in reaction to something that has not yet
happened.
Praising the democratic changes in Belgrade, Vedrine said the
best
way to help was to understand that Yugoslavia needs time in order to
resolve its problems in stages and back all actions with legal
decisions.
All partners are in agreement on this, Vedrine said.
Asked if there were any disagreements on the situation in the
Balkans among the partners, he said the group had a joint policy, common
principles and core ideas, but that it was true that these were not
viewed
in exactly the same light by all.
DJUKANOVIC: LA SALVEZZA DEL MONTENEGRO E' L'INDIPENDENZA
MONTENEGRO'S SALVATION IS ITS INDEPENDENCE, SAYS DJUKANOVIC
BIJELO POLJE, April 12 (Tanjug) Montenegro's salvation lies in
its independence, Montenegrin President and Democratic Socialist Party
leader Milo Djukanovic said late Wednesday at the preelection convention
of
the coalition "Victory for Montenegro" in Bijelo Polje.
"We have been reconstructing and have almost reconstructed the
Montenegrin state after a whole century of its stumbling and systematic
extermination," Djukanovic said, and added that after a convincing
victory
of this coalition at the April 22 elections "a democratic referendum
will
be held in Montenegro."
He voiced hope that, at this referendum, the Montenegrin people
will give "a convincing majority vote for reconstruction and full
sovereignty of Montenegro," which the international community would
accept
and recognize.
...COMUNQUE VADA A DICEMBRE SARANNO INGHIOTTITI NELL'EURO
MONTENEGRO TO SWITCH TO EURO IN DECEMBER, MONTENEGRIN PREMIER
PODGORICA, April 11 (Tanjug) As of December 2001, the euro
will
be the official currency in Montenegro, Montenegro's Premier Filip
Vujanovic announced in Podgorica late Tuesday.
Speaking at the promotion of the coalition "Victory of
Montenegro", comprising his Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) and the
SocialDemocratic Party (SDP), Vujanovic said that "independence for
Montenegro, and its economic sovereignty are prerequisites for better
life," and that Montenegro will not allow someone else to control it any
more.
As a sovereign country, Montenegro will get more favourable
loans
from international financial institutions, but this will not be possible
if
it has to wait for Serbia to pay back huge loans obtained from the World
Bank, according to Vujanovic.
KOSTUNICA E' PREOCCUPATO!
KOSTUNICA PREOCCUPIED BY SURVIVAL OF COMMON STATE
BELGRADE, April 14 (Tanjug) Yugoslav President Vojislav
Kostunica
said he believed in the future of the common state of Serbia and
Montenegro
and that in the center of his attention was the survival of the common
state and its reconstruction.
Kostunica in an interview for the holiday issue of Glas
javnosti
daily newspaper said that "despite the means the authorities in
Montenegro
are clearly using, such as pressures, blackmail, threats, poisonous
rhetoric in the media, even the talk of hatred, I think what is rational
will prevail, which means that I believe in the future of a common
state."
Asked whether he would accept to run for president of Serbia in
case of the breakup of Yugoslavia, Kostunica said "at the moment when I
accepted candidacies of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia in the
summer
of last year I did not think about my personal career but about the
survival and future of the state, and I do not think about it now."
"Simply, there are so many reasons to fight for the survival of
the common state of Serbia and Montenegro and that is what I am thinking
about."
KOSTUNICA NO REASON WORTH BREAKING UP STATE
PODGORICA, April 15 (Tanjug) Yugoslav President Vojislav
Kostunica said Saturday evening he did not see any reason worth the
breaking up of the state community of Montenegro and Serbia.
"We can and should reconstruct Yugoslavia into a functional
federation, that will be correspond to the needs of Montenegro and of
Serbia," Kostunica said in an interview with the newlyfounded Podgorica
television production MN.
The Yugoslav President confirmed "that the will of the people
must
be respected, but a will that is not expressed against the backdrop of
pressures, blackmail and media manipulations and contrary to the
Constitution of Montenegro."
In his assessment, in regular conditions, the coalition of the
Democratic Party of Socialists and of the Social Democratic Party could
not
expect to win at the April legislative elections in Montenegro.
Commenting the statements of some Montenegrin officials that
Yugoslavia does not exist any longer, the Yugoslav head of state said
that
"the official authorities in Montenegro want one thing, and the whole
world
another."
"The whole international community says that Yugoslavia exists,
albeit inefficient in many elements," he said. "We want to make it
efficient and to what aspires our platform for new relations inside the
federation," Kostunica said.
YUGOSLAV PRESIDENT'S AIDE CALLS UNITARIZATION STORIES
PROPAGANDA
PODGORICA, April 13 (Tanjug) An aide to Yugoslav President
Vojislav Kostunica dismissed as unclear claims by Montenegrin officials
to
the effect that Kostunica's platform for a new federation of Serbia and
Montenegro is a political, rather than a government programme.
In a statement to Friday's issue of Glas Crnogoraca, Slobodan
Samardzic said that all of Serbia and part of Montenegro support the
"socalled political program", while "their socalled government program
drew
support only from a part of Montenegro that is colloquially referred to
as
'official', and they had better think about that".
Samardzic described as legally groundless claims by some
Montenegrin officials that consent to Kostunica's platform would mean
approval of unitarization of the common state.
Unitary states and federations do exist, and President
Kostunica's
platform envisages a federation with certain confederal elements, based
on
the specific structure of a possible federation of Montenegro and
Serbia,
Samardzic explained. Therefore, the unitarization story is sheer
political
propaganda, he noted.
IL MONTENEGRO HA ACCUMULATO UN DEBITO ESTERO
SUPERIORE AL MILIARDO DI DOLLARI
LABUS MONTENEGRO'S DEBT OVER BILLION DOLLARS
BELGRADE, April 14 (Tanjug) The debt of Montenegro in the
total
debt of FR Yugoslavia to foreign countries is over a billion dollars,
and
not 307 million dollars as politicians in Podgorica claim, said Friday
evening Yugoslav Deputy Premier Miroljub Labus.
"If FR Yugoslavia was to disassociate, someone will have to
explain to the citizens of Montenegro that the per capita debt in that
Republic is much higher than in Serbia," Labus said in a Television
Politika talk show.
Pointing out he was speaking as an economist, Labus said he was
confident that FR Yugoslavia will be preserved, because its breakup
would
put off foreign capital inflow to Serbia and to Montenegro for at least
two
years, which is how long the process of redefining the debt balance
between
federation members would take.
INDEPENDENCE OF MONTENEGRO FROM ECONOMIST'S ANGLE - DINKIC
PODGORICA, April 14 (Tanjug) Yugoslav central bank governor
Mladjan Dinkic considers that the independence of Montenegro has no
economic reasons and would be more damaging than useful for the
Republic.
"The independence of Montenegro at this moment when Yugoslavia,
and Serbia, are making great strides in economic reforms and in their
integration into the world, has no meaning, all the more as the costs of
its independence will be greater than the benefits," Dinkic said to the
association of young journalists of Montenegro.
The governor of the National Bank of Yugoslavia considers that
the
Montenegrin economy is "not capable of surviving the competition of
European products."
DJUKANOVIC E VUJANOVIC: ANDREMO DRITTI ALLA META
DJUKANOVIC I WILL ASK FROM PARLIAMENT TO CALL REFERENDUM
BELGRADE, April 14 (Tanjug) President of Montenegro and of the
Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) Milo Djukanovic said he was
convinced
his party will win at the upcoming elections after what he will ask from
parliament to call a referendum, and that the positions of Serbian
Premier
Zoran Djindjic were closer to him than those of Yugoslav President
Vojislav
Kostunica.
In an interview for the Saturday issue of Blic newspaper,
Djukanovic said he understands "a certain amount of fear of
international
political circles who, unfortunately, are not used to seeing civilized
solutions in the Balkans."
Djukanovic underlined that "the federal state does not have any
chance of surviving."
The Montenegrin president, speaking about relations with
Yugoslav
President Vojislav Kostunica and Serbian Premier Zoran Djindjic said "I
respect very much both the position of Mr. Djindjic and that of Mr
Kostunica...With Djindjic I have friendly relations, and I have known
him a
longer time. His pragmatism and realistic approach to economic and
social
issues and topics are closer to me," Djukanovic said.
THERE WILL BE NO MORATORIUM - VUJANOVIC
PODGORICA, April 14 (Tanjug) Montenegrin Premier Filip
Vujanovic
resolutely said that "there will be no moratorium for resolving
interstate
relations between Montenegro and Serbia."
In a statement for Radio Deutsche Welle, carried on Saturday by
Montenegrin media, Vujanovic said that the referendum on the statelegal
status of Montenegro will be called immediately after the constitution
of
the republic's new parliament, following elections on April 22.
He dismissed speculations that Montenegro's bid for
independence
might be the cause of instability in the region.
"The project we are proposing is in the interest of stable
relations of Serbia and Montenegro, and thereby of stability of the
region
as a whole," Vujanovic said.
DJUKANOVIC: NON C'E' EGUAGLIANZA POSSIBILE ALL'INTERNO
DELLA FEDERAZIONE
DJUKANOVIC: MONTENEGRO'S EQUALITY IN FR YUGOSLAVIA NOT POSSIBLE
PODGORICA, April 16 (Tanjug) Montenegrin President Milo
Djukanovic said late Sunday there are reasons to doubt that Yugoslav
President Vojislav Kostunica is inciting tensions by alleging
irregularities existed in the election campaign in Montenegro.
This came in his comment about the statement made Sunday by
Kostunica in an interview with the new Television MN in Podgorica, that
the
coalition "The Victory is Montenegro's Milo Djukanovic" could not win at
the forthcoming parliamentary elections.
"Now I see what is the force that inspires our political
opponents
in Montenegro who persist in claiming there are many irregularities
here,"
Djukanovic said.
VUJANOVIC: IL MONTENEGRO AVRA' IL SUO ESERCITO
VUJANOVIC: MONTENEGRO WILL HAVE ITS OWN ARMY
PODGORICA, April 16 (Tanjug) Democratic Party of Socialists
(DPS)
VicePresident and Montenegrin Premier Filip Vujanovic said that
Montenegro
will soon have its professional army.
The Podgorica daily Vijesti quoted Monday Vujanovic as saying
at
the DPS preelection panel in Andrijevica that "no one in Montenegro will
ever be able to set up commands or appoint commanders."
"In just a few months, Montenegro will have its own
professional
army and its own defence," he said. He pointed out that Serbia has
been
offered a union of internationally recognized states "as the best
solution
for future relations."
"If they refuse talks on the issue, we will become independent
at
a referendum and also we will live better," Vujanovic said.

independence
might be the cause of instability in the region.
"The project we are proposing is in the interest of stable
relations of Serbia and Montenegro, and thereby of stability of the
region
as a whole," Vujanovic said.
DJUKANOVIC: NON C'E' EGUAGLIANZA POSSIBILE ALL'INTERNO
DELLA FEDERAZIONE
DJUKANOVIC: MONTENEGRO'S EQUALITY IN FR YUGOSLAVIA NOT POSSIBLE
PODGORICA, April 16 (Tanjug) Montenegrin President Milo
Djukanovic said late Sunday there are reasons to doubt that Yugoslav
President Vojislav Kostunica is inciting tensions by alleging
irregularities existed in the election campaign in Montenegro.
This came in his comment about the statement made Sunday by
Kostunica in an interview with the new Television MN in Podgorica, that
the
coalition "The Victory is Montenegro's Milo Djukanovic" could not win at
the forthcoming parliamentary elections.
"Now I see what is the force that inspires our political
opponents
in Montenegro who persist in claiming there are many irregularities
here,"
Djukanovic said.
VUJANOVIC: IL MONTENEGRO AVRA' IL SUO ESERCITO
VUJANOVIC: MONTENEGRO WILL HAVE ITS OWN ARMY
PODGORICA, April 16 (Tanjug) Democratic Party of Socialists
(DPS)
VicePresident and Montenegrin Premier Filip Vujanovic said that
Montenegro
will soon have its professional army.
The Podgorica daily Vijesti quoted Monday Vujanovic as saying
at
the DPS preelection panel in Andrijevica that "no one in Montenegro will
ever be able to set up commands or appoint commanders."
"In just a few months, Montenegro will have its own
professional
army and its own defence," he said. He pointed out that Serbia has
been
offered a union of internationally recognized states "as the best
solution
for future relations."
"If they refuse talks on the issue, we will become independent
at
a referendum and also we will live better," Vujanovic said.
