The Parliament of Serbia officially declared about the collapse of
Serbia-Montenegro Federal State. BBC reports that 126 of 250 deputies
of the Serbian Parliament voted for that decision. The members of
the Serbian Radical party, the largest opposition party, didn’t
participate in the sitting.
The state bodies should complete the separation process of Serbia
and Montenegro by elaborating relevant legal acts for receiving new
international legal status for the republic.
According to Serbia-Montenegro charter, Serbia remains the member
of the UN and other international organizations, while Montenegro
should apply for membership. All the federal ambassadors abroad will
be considered the ambassadors of Serbia.
As compared with the official and dull atmosphere at the Serbian
Parliament, in Podgorica the citizens of Montenegro declared
independence in quite festive atmosphere. It’s worth mentioning
that 55,4% of the Montenegro citizens voted for the independence
from Serbia.
