Early elections are the only remaining solution, Montenegro's Prime Minister Igor Luksic said at a meeting with leaders of the opposition, which did not yield an agreement on the position of the Serbian language in Montenegro's education system, Podgorica-based daily Dan reported on Wednesday.

According to the daily, Luksic issued this statement at the end of the two-and-a-half hour meeting, at which the opposition leaders did not accept the prime minister's proposal to hold 80 percent of lectures in the Montenegrin language and 20 percent in other languages.

The opposition insisted on honoring of the agreement reached at the first meeting with the PM, which envisages mandatory classes of Serbian, in addition to the Montenegrin language.

The representatives of the opposition conditioned their support to the election law on equal positions of the Serbian and the Montenegrin language in Montenegro's education system.

The early session of the Montenegrin parliament tabling amendments to the General Law on Education was scheduled for September 2.

The election law, which is Brussels' first precondition for the date of the beginning of the accession talks with Montenegro, needs a two-third majority to be adopted.

The representatives of the Montenegrin authorities and opposition agreed on the text of the election law, and the parliament is scheduled to discuss the document at an early session on September 6.
