Montenegrin Prime Minister Igor Luksic and representatives of the opposition reached an agreement on Monday with regard to issues of the Serbian language and citizenship, which was the opposition's condition for providing a two-third majority in the parliament that is necessary for the electoral law to be adopted.

Luksic conferred with leader of the Socialist People's Party (SNP) Srdjan Milic, leader of the New Serb Democracy (NOVA) Andrija Mandic, deputy leader of the Movement for Changes Branko Radulovic. The meeting was also attended by Minister of Education Slavoljub Stijepovic.

After the three-hour meeting, Mandic told reporters that the Montenegrin government agreed to amend the laws on education and citizenship, so that the parliament could then adopt the electoral law, which constitutes the EU's first condition for granting Montenegro the date of pre-accession talks.

Mandic did not specify the details discussed during the talks, but he noted that all citizens who had any document issued by the Republic of Montenegro would be able to obtain citizenship through a simplified procedure, adding that the Serbian linguistic community would get a chance to attend classes in their mother tongue.

Radulovic said that officials did not reach a complete consensus on the issue of citizenship but that the issue should be resolved over the next few days during the parliament collegium.

The leader of the SNP, as the strongest opposition party, Srdjan Milic did not issue a statement for reporters following the meeting.
