"In the past four and a half years, during my term in Kotor, these relations have been getting better by the day. In any case, they are improving to our mutual satisfaction," Poljanic said in an interview with Radio Free Europe on Sunday.
The Croatian consul said that "it is impossible to compare today's Montenegro with that of 10 or 15 years ago, because it is becoming more and more democratic every day."
Poljanic said that he was very pleased with the position of Croats and other minorities in Montenegro, stressing that "it is better than it has been in the last 50 or even 100 years."
For the first time since the Second World War the Croatian minority is organised within the Croatian Civil Society in Kotor. It is also active through the Napredak Association in Tivat and has its own political party, the Croatian Civil Initiative, the consul said.
"There is intense traffic at Debeli Brijeg (border crossing point) in both directions. Many cars bearing Croatian licence plates can be seen in Montenegro every day as can be those with Montenegrin plates in Croatia, which was inconceivable four and a half years ago when I came here," Poljanic said.
