Speaking to the press, Petrovic said that he was visiting Montenegro at a historic time, not only as a prince but as a Montenegrin citizen, in order to vote in the May 21 referendum of independence.
The EU foreign ministers, who held a meeting in Brussels today, reiterated the importance of a fair and orderly referendum process in Montenegro. They called on both sides to comply with the referendum law and provisions, to refrain from unilateral actions during the further stages of the process and to accept the outcome of a legitimately conducted referendum.
At least 50 percent of voters must turn out at the polls for the referendum results to be recognised, and at least 55 percent of those who turn out at the polls must vote for independence for the referendum to be successful.
