	1994/11/21 20:46 THE MOST EXPENSIVE MONTENGRIN WORD
		Since that idea has not been effectuated, Prevlaka remained to be the subject of indecisive haggling between the Croats on one, and the Montenegrins and the Serbs on the other side.
		Prevlaka was actually the subject of negotiations between the Bosnian Serbs and the Croatian party once, but presumably they had a blessing of the Montenegrin and the Yugoslav political factors for it.
		According to the testimony of the members of Montenegrin Ministry of the Interior which guards the border from Prevlaka to Ravni Brijeg (the so-called "yellow zone"), and the fishermen, the Croatian army and police are constructing a fortification in the region of Krupica, Glavica and the Klacine bay.

		The Prevlaka peninsula as it is being called in recent times, or Cape Ostro, Ostra or Ponta Ostra as the locals of Konavle call it, was situated in the district of Vitaljina or Vitalina during the Middle Ages.
		Since Prevlaka, along with the rest of Konavle, has, since the Middle Ages, belonged to Dubrovnik, Dalmatia, and Croatia geographically, cadastrally, administratively, judicially, ecclesiastically, religiously, and nationally, eastern Herzegovina has its own two hundred and fifty year-old access to the sea in Sutorina with which Prevlaka and the rest of Konavle were never politically joined.
		Prevlaka never belonged to Montenegro nor does was it ever needed by the Montenegrins, as representatives of the Montenegrin liberal opposition claim, and Serbia has an exit to the sea directly and indirectly through Montenegro.

	1994/10/10 00:06 TO UNTIE OR CUT THE KNOT
		Four years after Montenegrin reservists, allegedly for the purpose of defending Prevlaka and Boka, set out against Croatia and two years after the signing of the agreement on the peaceful settlement of that problem, this subject is again in the focus of Montenegrin politicians and public.
		The position on Prevlaka can illustrate the resolve not to depart from that principle, even when a piece of land of minor importance for Croatia is concerned, but can also be pressure on Montenegro, i.e.
		Thus, as further arguments for Montenegro's right to Prevlaka, are assessments that Croatia would need the peninsula "more out of spite than to increase its defence capacity" and that as such it would be a potential source of constant military skirmishes or a fisheries war.

		UNMOP monitoring of the Prevlaka demilitarized zone has been seriously disrupted because of a number of violations within the "blue zone" - an area intended to be controlled exclusively by the United Nations and to which both parties were to be denied access.
		Kofi Annan, visited Prevlaka and held discussions with President Bulatovic of the Republic of Montenegro, President Milosevic of the Republic of Serbia and President Tudjman of the Republic of Croatia.

		Prevlaka is not mentioned in a single Dayton document, a single annex...
		Whether any kind of Dayton agreement on Prevlaka truly exists is difficult to ascertain, yet Bulatovic demands that people trust his word, concluding that until that problem is resolved, there will be no normalization in their relations with Croatia.

		Prevlaka is a long tongue, a stone finger 2,500 metres long and 500 metres wide, pointing in a southeasterly direction; it closes the entry to the Bay of Kotor from the open sea and from it access to this, the deepest bay in the Adriatic, can be effectively controlled.
		From a military point of view, Prevlaka - like the Bay of Kotor -lost its key importance with the advent of the air force and, in conditions of aerial supremacy, is of no importance whatsoever.
		Prevlaka was first used for military-political purposes last autumn: under the pretext that the strategically extremely important Prevalaka had to be defended against the "Ustashi combatants which Dubrovnik was full of"; the famous Dubrovnik operation under the Podgorica Corps began.

		Podgorica - President of Montenegro Milo Djukanovic said yesterday that there had been "serious improvements" in the negotiations on the Prevlaka issue and announced the possibility of near adoption of temporary solution, based on which the presence of the United Nation (UN) mission would not be necessary on that peninsula any more.
		The President of the Montenegrin Border Commission, Nebojsa Vucinic, said that the UN Prevlaka mandate should last until intermediate solution for the "blue zone" was co-ordinated, but also for certain period of time after this co-ordination, and added that for Montenegro the land border was not disputable.
		Media from Podgorica published the statement of the political adviser in the monitoring mission on Prevlaka, Richard Calver, who said that the UN did not participate in the negotiations, but were following the event and expected the decision of the Security Council, after the agreement of Zagreb and Podgorica.

		Consequently, the costs of maintaining the United Nations Mission of Observers in Prevlaka for the period from 1 July 1998 to 30 June 1999, amounting to $190,921,200 gross ($181,030,800 net), have been included in my report on the financing of the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina for the same period (A/52/786).

		Thus, UNMOP has been a stabilizing factor in the Prevlaka area and I appeal to both parties to provide the Mission with their full cooperation in the implementation of its mandate.

		Accepting too lightly that the signatories of the agreement on Bosnia and Herzegovina also be the presidents of the two neighbouring states, the Americans have actually accepted that the signatories of that deal would be the nations, or more precisely, their political leaders.
		This is quite an unprecise comparison, since the Croatian dutchy established in 1939 included eastern Croatia and Prevlaka, which are now doubtful, although on the other hand, Croatia is today enlarged by Istria, which was Italian then, and for a good part of Western Bosnia, conquered in 1995.
