The daily released Moore’s letter from 2009, revealing to the State Department that ruling Democratic Party of Socialists of Montenegro deputy leader Svetozar Marović was directly or indirectly involved with 22 specific companies and that not a single significant business deal in Budva could be reached without him.
According to the daily, the former U.S. ambassador supported his claims with information that the First Bank of Montenegro was the only one that benefitted from the government package worth EUR 40mn.
Moore also informed his headquarters that former Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Đukanović owned three, his brother Aco Đukanović 47 and sister Ana Kolarević one percent of the First Bank shares, which gave the family a control of the bank.
The daily reported that the U.S. Embassy in Podgorica did not want to comment on the documents released by WikiLeaks.
Crna Gora (Montenegro) and Serbia weren't torn apart by communism but by Serbian King Petar by annexing Crna Gora to Serbia and to Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, in 1918.
Montenegrins haven't forgotten this "brotherly" act of Serbian state.

No wonder why Montenegro recognized kosovo independence, one criminal enterprise helping another. All interconnected.
When oh when will the once proud people of Crna Gora awake and realize what is being done. The nation of Crna Gora and Serbia are one, an othrodox slav kingdom of brothers torn apart by communism and now mafia and criminals elements.
I have no doubt that in the end, one day, we shall be reunited as family, stronger with determined unity.

Milo must be so disappointed! After playing his part in helping the West break up Serbia & Montenegro, he was probably expecting accolades of honor, not potential prospects of time behind bars in the future.
