BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — President Slobodan Milosevic adopted a new defense strategy Saturday aimed at protecting Yugoslavia’s “constitutional order,” state media said. The announcement comes
amid growing tension between army units and police in Montenegro, which together with Serbia makes up Yugoslavia. Montenegro’s pro-Western leadership has gradually pulled the republic away
from Milosevic’s Serbia-dominated federation. “The military doctrine is based on the Serb and Montenegrin people’s determination to defend the sovereignty, territorial integrity,
independence and constitutional order of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from military threats of any kind,” the state news agency Tanjug said, quoting the army. Belgrade has accused the
Montenegrin leadership of violating the constitution of Yugoslavia, which has consisted of just Serbia and Montenegro since the disintegration of the six-member socialist federation in the
1990s. MORE TO READ
