This is something that must be resolved as soon as possible, before the end of 2006. It's a security problem. I'm thinking of the different risks of disruption of the region and what this could lead to.
If you look over the last three years, you can see Montenegro has a durable economy.
Yes, I can see that having yet another small state complicates decisions in large groups like the European Union. But I am also certain that the people of Montenegro have a right to decide their future and we will be better off independent.
This means that if 54.5 percent of voters in Montenegro want independence, then we remain in union with Serbia and a minority wins over the majority. This does not seem fair to me, but we fully accept the proposal of the European Union.
If you look at the natural dispositions of the economies, a union does not make sense. Their economy has an agricultural basis and ours relies a great deal on tourism.
Serbia produces wheat and so - understandably - they want to protect their farmers from imports of cheap wheat and bread. But we have our own port and think that we should give our people the cheapest prices for bread, no matter where we import it from.
It was great to see committed Europeans understanding our situation and the reasons behind our desire for independence.
