EU membership sought
Montenegro's Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic has left for Paris to submit the country's formal application for European Union membership to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, a government official said yesterday.
The move by Montenegro, a country of just 650,000 people on the Adriatic Sea, is expected to encourage Balkan neighbors such as Albania and Serbia to file EU applications in coming months.
