Debata u Crnoj Gori o pristupanju NATO
Montenegrin Debate on Accession to NATO

Summary/Abstract: The Montenegrin political scene was, for years back, a scene of intensive political campaigns promoting or opposing the option of renewing the independence of Montenegro. Confrontation of views on that issue, essential for the future of Montenegro, included all actors of its political life (institutions, political parties, NGOs, individuals) and spread to all levels of society and state. Just over a year ago, following a plebiscitary victory of the option for an independent and internationally recognized state of Montenegro a major political and generally social topic was taken of the country’s political agenda. The solution to the issue of statehood opened the space for consideration of a series of other important matters of the state. One of them was the question of whether Montenegro should opt for full membership of NATO. Our intention in this paper is to review the relevant views of the main actors of Montenegrin political life, as well as present and explain the main arguments in their support so as to, finally, evaluate the quality and intensity of the ongoing debate on the potential entry to NATO in this neighbouring country.
