I thank the honourable Member for this important question. I will start with the earlier one related to the question of the Euro Region.
Should Montenegro use the constitutional possibility of withdrawing from the State union, then the Serbian and Montenegrin authorities will need to ensure adequate bilateral cooperation, which is in the mutual interests of their citizens. That is particularly important for those living in the border areas such as Sandžak, where the establishment of an international border could exacerbate the difficult economic situation. We have to contemplate different alternatives if there is either a referendum or a process that will lead to the independence of Montenegro. The time is not yet right to answer this question more precisely.
Concerning your first question relating to investment and economic development, previous experience shows that there is significant capacity in Sandžak for the implementation of projects that are geared towards peaceful conflict settlement and cross-border cooperation. The European Agency for Reconstruction will initiate, through a project to be implemented by UNDP, a set of mediators and associations in the region of Sandžak, based on the already successful model implemented in Bosnia and Herzegovina. That project is part of the overall framework in support of an anti-discrimination framework in Serbia and Montenegro and will be carried out under the Cards 2006 Programme for the State union."@en1
