Talk:2006 Montenegrin independence referendum

message: Part of the article about languages should be verified. From what I know they renamed it to 'mothertongue language' then back to serbian then I am not sure. I am adding the tag for verification.

message: Why will the Serbian government need to be "reconstructed" if Montenegro votes to break away?  The Serbian govt. is totally separate from the govt. of Serbia and Montengro, correct? --Jfruh 03:27, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm neither a Serb, nor a Montenegrin, but my best guess is that there are Montenegrins in the Serbian government, who will suddenly be citizens of a new country, if Montenegro votes in favour of independence.--84.26.109.69 19:17, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My own guess is that the dissolution of the state union will transfer some federal responsibilities to the Serbian government who will have to nominate new ministers for this task. I'd be very surprised if there were Montenegrin citizens in the Serbian government. But this is just a guess; I'm sure someone has a better idea than me.--Suimpos 04:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's just a guess either way really. If Serbia becomes independent, some formalities will have to be done between Serbia and Montenegro - defining new relations, dividing "wealth", etc. Now, as the Serbia&Montenegro right now doesn't really function, there won't be much to be done. Military needs to be divided (de facto it already is), and that's about it. E.g. both states already have ministries of foreign affairs. --dcabrilo 04:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reconstruction of Serbian govt.? 

message: What some of the comments above do not seem to recognize is that under the current "union," there is a government of Serbia, a government of Montenegro, and a government of "Serbia and Montenegro."  Each republic's government deals mostly with "internal issues" while the "union" government of "Serbia and Montenegro" deals mainly with defense, foreign policy, immigration and other matters requiring joint action.  (I get all this from the above-linked articles and a few others on Wikipedia, but it all seems logical.)  Therefore, I think it is safe to say that the situations discussed above will not occur.  There will not suddenly be droves of Montenegrins leaving the Serbian government, because the Montenegrins are not formally represented in the Serbian government; they are represented in their own government and in the "Serbia and Montenegro" government, while the Serbians are represented in THEIR own government and the "Serbia and Montenegro" government.  Yes, there are ethnic Serbians whose families are from Montenegro and who may end up in the Serbian government (which was true of Milosevic), and the reverse, but that has nothing to do with the formal structure of the government.  And by the way I looked at the article on the current president of Serbia, Boris Tadic, and it appears that contrary to the statement above, he is Serbian all the way.  It is the current president of "Serbia and Montenegro," Svetozar Marovic, who is Montenegrin.
Presumably, what will happen now is that the responsibilities for defense, foreign policy etc. will be assumed by each of the republics and the government of "Serbia and Montenegro" will cease to exist, just as occurred with the U.S.S.R.   6SJ7 16:15, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: No reconstruction needed

message: I thought there was 76% yes votes for independence, not 56. This is because I am watching the referendum on RTV BN.   CrnaGora (Talk/Contribs/E-mail/Edit Count) 20:37, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Percentage of Yes Votes 

message: What is the timetable for the dissolution of the union if there's a 'yes' vote? When would federal institutions be dissolved, or Belgrade's jurisdiction over Montenegro cease? Will there be an immediate declaration of independence followed by a delay while jurisdictional matters binding Montenegro to Serbia are sorted out, or will things be less rushed? Any idea when the EU will officially recognise Montenegro, or when it will formally apply for membership of the UN? Surely these things have been discussed, but there's no mention of them in the article. 129.234.4.1 23:35, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All good questions, and worth including in the page once we get answers.  There was a b92 article from a few days ago with Milo predicting Montenegrin membership in the UN by September, which suggests he expects an orderly-enough process of disentanglement and no UDI.  Considering Montenegro's new mission is to cuddle up to the EU, I doubt there'll be any sense in rushing things and complicating the situation.  I get the sense that Western states in general are going to fall in line with whatever recognition steps the EU takes pretty much instantaneously.  The Tom 01:52, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Anyone willing to write an article on the referendum in 1992 which came out almost unanimously in favour of continued union due to a boycott? Montenegrin independence referendum, 1992. 129.234.4.1 23:41, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Of the 66% who voted 95%+ were in favour, so it wan't exactly due to a boycott that that  referendum succeeded. --estavisti 21:09, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

message: A big chunk of the article was copy/pasted from b92.net (and links were provided). I removed most (all?) of it, but please keep an eye on further copyvios. --dcabrilo 05:57, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

message: *When will the Montenegrin government declare independence? Dr.Poison 16:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: None yet. However, May 25th, 2006, at 11 o'clock is when a "ceremonial assembly of the Montenegrin government" will take place. Perhaps that's when they will declare independence. Then again, parliament needs to be in session, and the day might not be the most suitable one :) --dcabrilo 23:30, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Djukanovic's comments to the press suggest that there will be no declaration (or more accurately, no immediately effective declaration) until things are sorted out with Serbia.  The 60 day rule seems to mean "begin negotiating the split within" not "declare independence within".  You might see a formal vote to proceed with the division, to be effective on, say, July 1 at midnight, though. International law takes time.  The Tom 23:35, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The date given most often is 13 July, the anniversary of Montenegro's first independence. Search Google News, you'll find sources for that date. (Or check list of European Union member states. =]) —Nightstallion (?) 23:43, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Independence 

message: I think it would be nice to see the results in a table form with the exact percentages of the municipalities in favor and against. Currently the part which is describing the distribution of votes in the municipalities is not easy to read.
It could be done something like:
 municipality | in favor | against | reason
    foobar    |    50%   |   50%   | albanian majority
This makes it easier to read I guess; or would it be too much like the  website?
