Montenegro accepts only Kosovo compromise – president

Filip Vujanovic says his country will back only a status solution that Belgrade and Pristina agree on. The Montenegrin president also called on the international community Tuesday to help the two sides reach such an agreement. Montenegro accepts only Kosovo compromise – president Vujanovic told reporters in Pjevlja, northern Montenegro, that the international community should "urgently help find an solution acceptable to both sides." Vujanovic noted that Montenegro "would not take a position on any outcome to the Kosovo issue that is not the result of agreement between Belgrade and Pristina." "Montenegro will not contribute in any manner to any kind of solution that does not result from agreement," Vujanovic set out, adding that Montenegro has consistently announced this position which, according to him, has been met with the full understanding of the international community. Vujanovic pointed out that "only a sustainable solution" to the Kosovo status crisis guarantees the stability of the region. Montenegro borders both with Serbia proper and Kosovo, and has sizable Serb and Albanian ethnic minorities.
