I doubt Germany and the EU formally allow Montenegro to use Euro as an official curency

  • currency: euro - even though Montenegro is not part of the Eurozone, it uses the euro after Germany and the EU allowed it to use the German mark years ago. Now, since the German mark was superceded by the euro, the euro is the official currency of Montenegro.

What is "calques"? -- Zoe

"calque" is a loan translation, an expression introduced into one language by translating it from another language. (from Wordnet dictionary) --Shallot 14:20, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Some Montenegrins have in recent years shown a desire to separate Montenegro from the federation with jist of the separatist movement being among the Slavic Muslim and Albanian minorities who make up some 20% of the population -- what does this sentence mean? -- Zoe

I don't know, but it seems to make some kind of sense if you assume "jist" is a typo for "most"... -- Paul A
In recent years, some Montenegrins have shown a desire to separate from the Yugoslavian/Balkan/Serbian(?) Federation. The separatist movement consists mainly of Slavic Muslim and Albanian minorities, which consist of 20% of the Montenegrin population. --More sense?

I should make note that Igor's edits spin the article towards the Serbian point of view, which is in conflict with the Montenegro government and hence the majority of voting population, contrary to what it may imply. The article needs to be made more neutral. --Shallot 14:20, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I do not partake in such practices, there has been no reversal of power in Montenegro since 1945, the very party that held the media, government and police prior to any given election won it. There have been widespread reports of vote fraud and besides, the government won some 47% at the last elections, hardly an indisputable majority.
