though it was (and probably will again be) an independent country

Latest elections back in September elected a very pro-independence Parliament, so I suspect that it should be coming over the horizon. Although there seems to be pressure from the UN, the EU, and the US for Montenegro to remain attached to Serbia, for some god-forsaken reason. I find it ironic that the powers that be (UN, EU, US, GB, etc) will promote the creation of the
modern independent states of Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia and Bosnia, yet opposes Montenegro, which (along with Serbia) were the only free states prior to the formation of Yugoslavia. All of the other modern states were (prior to WWI) parts of the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
I will get down off my soapbox now, before we banished to the debates forum.
