Predictable, really. The final consequences to the vicious policies that Milosevic began in 1989, may he burn in hell.

Montenegro has been independent during most of its history anyhow. It would be nice if they restored the Montenegrin Crown, but I doubt that will happen.

The 'Green' Montenegrins finally won (the 'Greens' were against union with Serbia following WW I). A 100 years passes and we're back to the way things were in 1914 (partly at least).

You seem somewhat familiar with the politics in this region. Can I ask if you (or other freepers) want to speculate about what, if anything, this might mean for other open questions in that area, like the status of Kosovo?

We have property in Montenegro and all I know is the government is hindering us from selling it. It's been very frustrating.

Yeah, but also due to Djukanovic's greed. He basically wants a country of his own-not because he cares about Montenegrin freedom or self-determination- but so he can pursue his own "business" arrangements. Milosevic's policies helped him out in a big way. The only thing Milo Djukanovic cares about is Milo Djukanovic, and he probably thanked God that Milosevic was around so he could increase support for independence.

BTW, Montenegro has only a little over *600,000* people. Can a modern independent country survive with so small a population? Especially since Montenegrins in the northern and eastern parts are considerings seceding from Montenegro and joining Serbia if independence succeeds.
