Publication

This publication analyzes the political developments within the newly independent state of Montenegro. The author argues that since independence, the problem of identity has dominated the Montenegrin political scene and that ethnic groups are increasingly politicized. The publication does not preclude new conflicts, as issues like the new constitution, symbols of the state and the church are highly volatile. The author further on states that corruption, organized crime and absence of the rule of law seriously threaten Montenegro's future in Europe.
