PRESIDENT OF MONTENEGRO MILO DJUKANOVIC ANNOUNCED:
TEMPORARY SOLUTION FOR PREVLAKA IS SOON TO COME

Podgorica - President of Montenegro Milo Djukanovic said yesterday that there had been "serious improvements" in the negotiations on the Prevlaka issue and announced the possibility of near adoption of temporary solution, based on which the presence of the United Nation (UN) mission would not be necessary on that peninsula any more.

To take over the responsibility for something that required the international supervision so far would be a gesture of mutual political maturity - Djukanovic said.

In such an atmosphere, we will have more possibilities to think about something that will be the final solution for Prevlaka - Djukanovic said.

REACTIONS ON THE NEWS ABOUT POSSIBLE ABOLITION OF THE UN PREVLAKA MANDATE:
THE AGREEMENT ABOLISHES THE UN MISSION

Podgorica - The United Nations (UN) mission on Prevlaka will not be necessary after Yugoslavia and Croatia reach temporary agreement - the Prime Minister of Montenegro said to Radio Free Europe.

The President of the Montenegrin Border Commission, Nebojsa Vucinic, said that the UN Prevlaka mandate should last until intermediate solution for the "blue zone" was co-ordinated, but also for certain period of time after this co-ordination, and added that for Montenegro the land border was not disputable.

Media from Podgorica published the statement of the political adviser in the monitoring mission on Prevlaka, Richard Calver, who said that the UN did not participate in the negotiations, but were following the event and expected the decision of the Security Council, after the agreement of Zagreb and Podgorica.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION CHIEF CONSULTATNT JOLLY DICKSON:
WITH INTEGRATIONS MONTENEGRO GAINS MORE THAN THE NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES

Podgorica - Montenegro is to expect more advantages from the economic integration than bigger countries in the surrounding, because most of the barriers have the bigger effect on the small countries", the Chief Consultant of the European Commission, Jolly Dickson estimated.

In economic integrations, Montenegro should concentrate on the long-term advantages of the trade volume increase instead on the short-term negative effects caused by higher customs rates, Dickson said on the seminar on the European Union (EU) experiences in economic integrations, held yesterday in Podgorica.
