Kyiv's envoy to Montenegro tells BIRN that Russia's aims are not limited to Ukraine and that "only marginal groups" in Montenegro back Moscow.

The war in Ukraine is dividing the Balkans and reviving old tensions. The small mountainous state of Montenegro, a country of barely 650,000 inhabitants, has been caught up in the geopolitical crossfire between West and East.

The National Security Agency of Montenegro stated that several Russian agencies were behind the unprecedented cyber attack against Montenegrin institutions, BTA reported.

Montenegro's intelligence agency also said it feared the attack had not yet reached its peak and that all "key infrastructure", such as the electricity system or water supply, could be targeted.

The ANB told media that Montenegro is in what it called a hybrid war at the moment.

The agency notes that this opens the way for new political upheavals in the small Balkan state. The previous coalition government was also voted out in February.
