MONTENEGRO DROPS THE YUGOSLAV DINAR. The Yugoslav dinar is no
longer legal tender in the republic of Montenegro beginning
on 13 November, AFP reported. Montenegro's Monetary Council
said on 10 November that the German mark will be the only
currency in the republic until 2002, when the euro goes into
circulation. Montenegro introduced the German mark as a
parallel currency in June. In retaliation, the Yugoslav
National Bank imposed a ban on financial transactions between
Montenegrin and Serbian companies. PB
