Montenegro - promises, promises

In Montenegro the upcoming referendum on independence from Serbia has to meet certain EU sponsored rules. One is that the 'Yes' vote must be over 55% to succeed and a second is that there must be at least a 50% turnout. With the polls suggesting a close vote the focus is turning to those minority communities that may swing the result either way - i.e. how will the ethinc Albanians vote ?.

There are only around 30,000 people in the 'Albanian vote' but that's 5% of the population in Montenegro so some are suggesting promises of greater autonomy are in the air more from Transitions Online... Representatives of this community point out that such pre-election promises are not new and are rarely honoured after the event.
