Montenegrin rights activists said that new amendments to the law providing compensation to civilian war victims do nothing for families of some of those killed in the 1990s conflicts in the former Yugoslavia.

The state prosecution said it failed to create a database of Montenegrin citizens who were members of paramilitary units during the 1990s wars because of a lack of cooperation from other former Yugoslav countries.

Militaristic propaganda played a major role in priming Montenegrins for the Yugoslav People’s Army’s attacks on the Croatian town of Dubrovnik in 1991, a conference in Podgorica was told on the anniversary of the most intensive shelling.
