Linic told reporters it was agreed the two governments would help
businessmen by settling external payments and the customs regime. A
mixed commission will be established, at Montenegro's urging, to
settle border-related issues, he said.
Gvozdenovic acquainted Linic with the reforms Montenegro undertook
in the past 18 months in view of improving the standard of living,
integration into Euro-Atlantic structures, and advancing
relations with neighbours.
Gvozdenovic described today's talks as "very positive."
He said the talks also tackled the need of cooperation between the
two countries' power supply systems. Montenegro is interested in
the involvement of Croatian companies in the current privatisation
of Montenegro's telecommunications and oil companies.
