SURVEY SUGGESTS MAJORITY OF MONTENEGRINS SUPPORT
INDEPENDENCE. A poll published in the Montenegrin daily
"Vijesti" on 30 October showed that a majority of respondents
would favor independence if a referendum on the topic were
held, although a majority also favored some future
association with Serbia, Reuters reported. Conducted by
Montenegro's Center for Democracy and Human Rights, the poll
found 48.1 percent of respondents would vote for independence
and 38.9 would vote against it. But more than half of those
polled said they want some kind of alliance with Serbia.
Montenegrin Premier Filip Vujanovic said on 27 October that
both republics should be internationally recognized but that
some functions could be shared. PB
