According to Zizic, the international community "realises that
Montenegro's separation from the federation would destabilise not
only FRY (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) but the entire Balkans as
well."
He thinks the upcoming Montenegrin election might be rigged and
maintains this would stir discontent among the population.
"I wouldn't announce unrest at present, but in case of rigged
elections Montenegro could become unstable," Zizic said.
His coalition "Together for Yugoslavia" is expected to come second
to Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic's "The Victory is
Montenegro's" coalition.
