PODGORICA, July 20 (Hina) - Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo
Djukanovic said on Wednesday that compensating Croatia for damages was "only a
gesture of a responsible neighbour aimed at accelerating the restitution of
trust", adding that Montenegrin airports or hotels would not be given to
Croatia, but that competent international bodies would decide on possible
compensation. Djukanovic said this in Bijelo Polje on Wednesday
evening referring to damage which citizens of Montenegro, who were members of
the former Yugoslav People's Army, caused to Konavle municipality in
Croatia.
Djukanovic told reporters that Montenegro was not compensating damages
because it was not in war with Croatia, stressing that the former Yugoslav
People's Army was in war and Montenegrin citizens were only fulfilling their
legal obligation.
International institutions will decide should there be compensation for
damages, he said.
