The leading opposition party from the pro-Serbian bloc, the Socialist People's Party (SNP), has said that by signing the agreement "Montenegro has actually admitted to committing an act of aggression against Croatia".
The leader of the Liberal Party, Miodrag Zivkovic, believes that it will be difficult to implement the agreement as long as the same political elite controlling all institutions of the system is in power.
Goran Rodic, an attorney from Podgorica who defended before the Hague war crimes tribunal Pavle Strugar, a JNA general indicted for attacks on Dubrovnik carried out by his units, has said that the beginning of war crimes trials should be preceded by the establishment of a special prosecutor's office and a court for war crimes, as was done in Serbia.
Dan daily from Podgorica on Saturday published a list of 1,993 persons sought by Croatia over war crimes charges.
The daily said that the list, obtained by the non-governmental organisation "Veritas", contained the names of people suspected of, indicted and sentenced for war crimes that were being prosecuted by relevant Croatian institutions.
Of the 1,993 persons, 803 are under investigation, 586 have been indicted and 577 have been sentenced.
Most of the cases are Croatian Serbs, followed by a significant number of JNA members, and a few members of the Croatian army and police.
Veritas president Savo Strbac told the daily that the suspects also included more than 200 Montenegrins, of whom 54 were prosecuted upon investigation.
