The decision to recognise Montenegro will be adopted by the Government at a session that started immediately after the Mesic-Sanader meeting.
The Government's press office said in a statement the Government had forwarded a proposal to recognise Montenegro to the head of state. Mesic endorsed the Government's motion and his office sent Mesic's consent to the Government.
Montenegro declared independence after a referendum on May 21 at which 55.5 percent of the voters who went to the polls voted for independence.
So far, Montenegro was recognised by Iceland and Russia.
