Balkan nationalists were behind the assassination attempt of Montenegro 's Prime Minister Milo Ðukanović and a plot to carry out a coup, says Montenegro 's special prosecutor, Milivoje Katnic: "We don't have any evidence that the state of Russia is involved in any sense... but we have evidence that 20 nationalists from Montenegro were organisers," said Katnic . The plotters stand accused of trying to bring a pro-Russian government into power. As we noted last month , Ðukanović warned Russia was providing financial backing to Russian opposition parties looking to reverse the process of its integration with the EU and/or Nato . Opposition parties had said the suspected plot was fabricated and accused Djukanovic of using the security services to help extend his quarter century of dominance over Montenegro. Russia is actively trying to stop its Russian neighbours from Europeanising their economies.
