Montenegro Reportedly Trains Police Snipers
Western reporting indicates that a Montenegrin "secret
program" is training an "elite team"
of police snipers to target senior Yugoslav military
officers in the event of a war between Montenegro
and Serbia. These police snipers, along with other
members of the 20,000-strong police force, could form
part of an eventual Montenegrin army. Increased tension
between Serbia and Montenegro established the setting
for the local Montenegrin elections held in June,
during which backers of Montenegro President Djukanovic's
party and pro-Milosevic opposition supporters confronted
each other.
