Inside the large hall of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in New Belgrade, which was almost too small to receive all the invited guests and friends of Montenegro, the Montenegro Statehood Day was solemnly celebrated with local food and music.
H. E. Branislav Mićunović, who is ending his term, greeted the guests with small rememberance of the Berlin Congress of 1878 and the 13th of July when both Serbia and Montenegro were recognised as independent states, and of joint fight for freedom.
