Re: Montenegro to hold presidential vote
What's the story of Montenegro and Serbia? I had always assumed that the relation between Montenegrins and Serbians was a smooth one. I've met Montenegrins who wouldn't even consider themselves a people apart from Serbians.
Then, all of a sudden comes the secession which, even if it should not imply in itself a bitterness, it looks as if there is more to it than what meets the eye.

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
