evidence: PMQs - PM Krivokapić: Open issue of Prevlaka cannot be an obstacle for Montenegro's further progress towards EU membership ʺIn your question, you stated that Montenegro signed an interim demarcation agreement with Croatia in 2002. Not only for terminological, but also for essential reasons, it is necessary to specify that the exact name of that agreement is 'Protocol on the Interim Regime along the Southern Border' which was signed by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia with the participation of representatives of the then Republic of Montenegro. Insisting on the colloquial term "interim agreement" suggests the temporary nature of the agreement, although the final provisions of the Protocol clearly show that it is an interim regime along the southern border, a regime whose duration is not limited by the deadlines in the Protocol itself, but on the contrary a provision stating that the regime will be valid 'until the parties agree otherwise'ʺ, said Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapić, answering the question of Danijela Đurović from the MP Group of the Socialist People’s Party of Montenegro. [...] After all, considering the previous reports of the European Commission on Montenegro's progress in European integration, as an obstacle to faster progress of Montenegro in that direction, it again states poor results in the fight against high-level corruption and organized crime, poor protection of journalists and problems with creating conditions for fair and free elections, but not issues related to resolving the open issue of Prevlaka between Montenegro and the Republic of Croatia," Krivokapić concluded.
