PODGORICA, June 17 (Hina) - Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo
Djukanovic on Friday criticised Serbian PM Vojislav Kostunica for giving EU
officials in Brussels yesterday a list of some 250,000 Montenegrins residing in
Serbia and saying that they should be entitled to vote in a referendum on
Montenegro's independence. Djukanovic said Kostunica's action was
yet another attack on Montenegro's right to have a say about its future at a
referendum.
He added that the action by Kostunica and others in Belgrade thinking
the same was not surprising because they did not respect Montenegro, but
treated it as a Serbian region.
Djukanovic said that Montenegro's citizens would decide about their
future at the referendum and that actions such as Kostunica's only reinforced
their commitment to independence and a European future.
Montenegrin President Filip Vujanovic vehemently criticised Kostunica's
action too.
