the region, was to review the possibilities of more efficient steps
to arrest the key indictees.
Djukanovic's office said in a statement that the US ambassador was
satisfied with cooperation with Montenegro so far and that he hoped
it would continue to the benefit of both parties.
"Adequate regulation of cooperation with the U.N. war crimes
tribunal is one of conditions for stability and healthy relations
in the region, which is exceptionally important for Montenegro,"
Djukanovic stressed.
