Even splitting Kosovo will effectively isolate Montenegro from Serbia...
It will also end up an "independent" nation..

Montenegro won't be cut off from Serbia if the Albanian fascists get Kosovo from the "international community", but it might be annihilated should the Montenegrin separatists win (the referendum is due this year).


Nearly all of Montenegro's Muslims support the ruling coalition, which is bent on separating Montenegro from Serbia. And it's obvious why - without Serbia, Montenegro stands no chance. As soon as Montenegro declares independence, they will turn against the gov't and demand all kinds of things.

As it is now, 40% of the 650,000 inhabitants support independence, 35% don't. Meanwhile, the separatist gov't (ironically, most of them are, by and large, of Serb ancestry) has disenfranchised some 250,000 Montenegrin citizens who reside and work in Serbia. These people are overwhelmingly pro-union.
