PODGORICA, May 31 (Hina) - Montenegro's independence will be proclaimed at a special parliament session on June 3, Montenegrin print media announced on Wednesday.

Parliament Speaker Ranko Krivokapic plans to invite top state officials and representatives of the parliamentary, executive and judicial authorities, as well as senior guests from the European Union, Vijesti daily said.

Not all those invited will be able to attend due to other commitments, but European Parliament President Josep Borrell most likely will, Vijesti said, adding that he expressed via diplomatic channels a desire to attend the ceremony at which Montenegro's independence will be proclaimed.

Krivokapic will also try to bring Javier Solana, the EU high representative for the common foreign and defence policy, but Solana's attendance is unlikely because he is scheduled to visit the Middle East on Saturday.

The president of the Republic Referendum Commission, Frantisek Lipka, will first submit to parliament a report on the results of the referendum on independence, after which parliament is expected to adopt a Declaration of Independence.

Opposition deputies are not likely to attend the session.

According to the Referendum Commission's preliminary results, 55.5 per cent of Montenegrins voted for independence at the May 21 referendum, while 44.5 voted for staying in the state union with Serbia.

The Commission rejected more than 200 complaints about the regularity of the vote from the unionist bloc. The Montenegrin Constitutional Court said it had not received even one complaint about the referendum.
