Territorial Disputes:
Montenegro-Bosnia and Herzegovina countries signed a
border agreement in Aug 2015; sovereignty of the
disputed Sutorina territory was given to Montenegro;
Montenegro-Croatia in 2002 reached a temporary agreement
designating the Prevlaka Peninsula as part of Croatia,
in Oct 2020, a Montenegrin official resurrected the
dormant dispute over the Prevlaka Peninsula by stating
that Montenegro had a good chance of winning it through
international arbitration; a 2015 border agreement was
ratified by Montenegro in 2015 and by Kosovo in 2018,
but the actual demarcation has not been completed; the
former Montenegro-Serbia republic boundary – when the
two countries were one and called the Federal Republic
of Yugoslavia – serves as the boundary until a line is
formally delimited and demarcated.
