Montenegro

Back to all the stories

A married couple of intellectuals from the capital of Montenegro had three daughters. The husband's brother had two children. But while their sister struggled for years to obtain the joy of parenthood, it didn't work. This couple visited all the clinics, and listened to all the advice, in vain.

Eight others were wounded when ten missiles hit the bridge on the river Lim, near Montenegro's border with Kosovo in the country's north. The casualties were a major tragedy for Murino, which only had 462 inhabitants.

"A significant number of citizens in Cetinje do not approve of Milatovic's politics so he could have inconveniences during the inauguration," Adzic told a parliamentary defence and security committee hearing.

The Special State Prosecution said the arrest of Bozovic and unnamed persons from Budva, Cetinje and the capital Podgorica, was organised with the support of the European police agency EUROPOL.

Dritan Abazovic said in an interview for the BiH TV network that it will be seen whether the hand of justice goes towards the outgoing president of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovi.

PODGORICA - Montenegro's President-elect Jakov Milatovic said on Tuesday his country's potential membership in the Open Balkan initiative needed to be discussed by the next government in Podgorica, to be elected by a new Montenegrin parliament.

Two days since Montenegro's presidential election, incumbent Milo Djukanovic's loss at the hands of 36-year-old political rookie Jakov Milatovic continued to reverberate in Serbian media.
