Liberty for Montenegro

PODGORICA, Serbia-Montenegro (AP) - Montenegro voted by a slim margin to secede from Serbia and form a separate nation, erasing the last vestiges of the former Yugoslavia, according to the results Monday of its referendum.
With nearly all ballots counted, 55.4 percent of voters chose to dissolve Montenegro's 88-year union with its much larger and sometimes overbearing Balkan neighbor. That is just over the 55 percent threshold needed to validate Sunday's referendum under rules set by the European Union.
Hours before the official results were announced, independence supporters flooded streets of the capital Podgorica and other towns, even though their victory did not appear at all certain at that point.
"I congratulate you on your state," said the pro-independence prime minister, Milo Djukanovic. "Today, the citizens of Montenegro voted to restore their statehood."

I am happy to congratulate Montenegro on their restoration of statehood. Let us hope they can keep their sovereignty, though they seem to be posturing to join the European Union which would, in effect, negate their sovereignty. Now if we can find some fed up Southerners to follow suit and restore Confederate States nationhood and sovereignty. When the last vestiges of the American expreriment have been perverted so far as none can recognize our government for what it was, Southern nationalism will find itself much supported.
