Montenegro

ICG has been active in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia since 1997. The Group's reports on Montenegro concentrated on the republic's increasingly tense relations with Belgrade during the final years in power of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, highlighting the precarious situation of Montenegro's democratically inclined government in the face of Serbian intransigence to demands for greater autonomy and freedom.

A major focus of ICG's work on Montenegro in the post-Milosevic era is the development of the republic's future status and its evolving relationship with Serbia, as well as the need for progress in democratic, institutional and economic reform.
