BELGRADE On Monday and Tuesday, Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic will be on his first official visit to Serbia after ten years. The head of the Montenegrin government will be received by President Tomislav Nikolicc, Prime Minister Dacic, and his first deputy, Aleksandar Vucic. Montenegrin PM in first visit to Serbia in decade The last time Djukanovic was in in Belgrade was in 2003, when he attended the funeral of Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic. The visit comes as relations between Serbia and Montenegro are "again on the rise." The new government in Serbia has "relaxed" the atmosphere between Belgrade and Podgorica after 2006, when Vojislav Kostunica did not congratulate the Montenegrins on their statehood, and after 2008, when that country recognized Kosovo, and Serbia expelled its ambassador. Serbia and Montenegro, after the thawing of relations, began to consider ways to support the economic cooperation that is already important for both countries, and jointly seek money from EU funds to build roads and railways. However, difficult political issues remain as well. On the eve of his arrival in Belgrade, Djukanovic said that the Montenegrin-Serbian relations are "brotherly," and that "history has confirmed that they are the most brotherly when based on interests."
