Evidence (2010-03-31): Few days back, while in Dubrovnik, we decided to go off the beaten path and see the southernmost point of Croatia.

Prevlaka met our expectations! Prevlaka is located over 30 km south of Dubrovnik. There are several signs pointing out to this protected area on the same road people travel to Montenegro. Driving through picturesque Konavle is quite lovely although we had a cloudy and fairly grim day. [...] Prevlaka was a refreshing trip!

Claim: Prevlaka is a territory of Croatia (Prevlaka, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2021-05-10): PMQs - PM Krivokapić: Open issue of Prevlaka cannot be an obstacle for Montenegro's further progress towards EU membership ʺIn your question, you stated that Montenegro signed an interim demarcation agreement with Croatia in 2002. Not only for terminological, but also for essential reasons, it is necessary to specify that the exact name of that agreement is 'Protocol on the Interim Regime along the Southern Border' which was signed by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia with the participation of representatives of the then Republic of Montenegro. Insisting on the colloquial term "interim agreement" suggests the temporary nature of the agreement, although the final provisions of the Protocol clearly show that it is an interim regime along the southern border, a regime whose duration is not limited by the deadlines in the Protocol itself, but on the contrary a provision stating that the regime will be valid 'until the parties agree otherwise'ʺ, said Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapić, answering the question of Danijela Đurović from the MP Group of the Socialist People’s Party of Montenegro. [...] After all, considering the previous reports of the European Commission on Montenegro's progress in European integration, as an obstacle to faster progress of Montenegro in that direction, it again states poor results in the fight against high-level corruption and organized crime, poor protection of journalists and problems with creating conditions for fair and free elections, but not issues related to resolving the open issue of Prevlaka between Montenegro and the Republic of Croatia," Krivokapić concluded.

Evidence (2019-07-02): Since the creation of the two states, Slovenia had displayed more interest to have the border settled. Bilateral negotiations did not yield any result. The primary reason was that the two sides held different view on how the maritime border should be settled. Croatia’s position is that the border in the Bay of Piran/Savudrijska vala should be established in accordance with the equidistance line on the basis of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Slovenia, on the other hand, claimed the integrity of the Piran Bay/Savudrijska vala under Slovenian sovereignty and requested access to high seas. [...] The border dispute with Montenegro relates to the identification of the border at land and at sea. In 2002 Croatia and Montenegro signed a Protocol on an interim regime provisionally settling the border. The controversial points were demarcation at the Prevlaka peninsula and in the Bay of Kotor. Prevlaka had strategic importance for Croatia during the war in the 1990s. In 1992 Croatia and then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia reached an agreement to demilitarize Prevlaka and put it under UN monitoring. The UN mission was effectively ended by the signing of the Protocol on the interim regime in 2002.

Evidence (2022-05-16): Eight border disputes in the Balkans - Piran Bay, a sea border between Slovenia and Croatia - The Prevlaka peninsula, contested by Croatia and Montenegro - Kosovo’s border with Serbia, which still claims the state as its own territory - Backa Palanka, near an area claimed by both Croatia and Serbia - Three contested sites on the Bosnian-Serbian border - The Prohor Pcinjski Monastery claimed by both Serbia and Macedonia - Neum, a Bosnian port on the Adriatic Sea with areas contested by Croatia - The maritime border between Albania and Greece [...] On its border with Montenegro, also a NATO member, Croatia faces a dispute over the Prevlaka peninsula, in the Adriatic Sea. In practice, under a 2002 interim regime with a land border in Konfin, the disputed land is Croatian and the sea a "mixed zone." It is unlikely that the Montenegro-Croatia dispute will harm bilateral relations between the two countries.
