Belgrade saved its strongest criticism for Montenegro. Former nationalist Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said Serbia should sue Montenegro in an international court.
Some nationalist lawmakers urged Serbs not to travel to Montenegro, demanded a halt in air traffic between the two countries, and threatened retaliation against Montenegrins living in Serbia. Others urged confiscation of property in Serbia belonging to Montenegrin political leaders.
The announcements by Montenegro and Macedonia came a day after Serbia scored a diplomatic victory at the U.N. General Assembly. The assembly supported Belgrade’s bid to question the legality of Kosovo independence at the U.N.’s highest judicial body, the International Court of Justice.
Referring to that decision, Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic said Friday the Montenegrin and Macedonian recognition of Kosovo was designed to “limit the effects of our victory … by those who suffered a defeat.”
