Foreign relations of Montenegro 5444675 217555846 2008-06-06T15:55:27Z 80.80.161.147 /* States that have explicitly recognized the Republic of Montenegro */ {{politics of Montenegro}} In a [[Montenegrin independence referendum, 2006|referendum]] on May 21, 2006, the people of [[Montenegro]] opted to leave the State Union of [[Serbia and Montenegro]]. This was confirmed with a declaration of independence by the Montenegrin parliament on June 3, 2006. It simultaneously requested international recognition and outlined foreign policy goals. As enumerated in the parliamentary declaration of June 3, 2006, Montenegro's near-term primary foreign policy objectives are integration into the [[European Union]], membership in the [[United Nations]], to which it was admitted on June 28, 2006 <ref>[http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060628/wl_nm/montenegro_un_dc_2 http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060628/wl_nm/montenegro_un_dc_2]</ref> and in [[NATO]]<ref>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060604/ap_on_re_eu/montenegro_independence_4</ref>. The [[European Council of Ministers]] recognized Montenegrin independence on June 12, 2006, as did the [[United States]]. [[Russia]] gave official recognition on June 11. <ref>[http://www.turkishweekly.net/news.php?id=32995 JTW News - Kacin: EU will recognize Montenegro on June 12<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The United Kingdom extended recognition on June 13. The last two permanent members of the [[United Nations Security Council]], [[France]] and the [[People's Republic of China]] recognised the government of Montenegro on June 14. On [[November 30]], [[2006]], the Government adopted the ''Memorandum of Agreement between the Republic of Montenegro and the Republic of Serbia on Consular Protection and Services to the Citizens of Montenegro''. By this agreement, [[Republic of Serbia]], through its network of diplomatic and consular [[Serbian diplomatic missions|missions]], provides consular services to the Montenegrin citizens on the territory of states in which Montenegro has no missions of its own. ==Membership in international organizations== {| class="wikitable" !
