Sažetak

Bilateral relations of two neighboring countries – Croatia and Montenegro – ruined by war in nineties have lately recovered. Similar goals in foreign policy swept away negative connotations and today we can argue that they cooperate in friendly manners. As a completely opposite case than in, for instance Croatia and Slovenia, positive turnover in geopolitical perception is easily seen. Nevertheless, Croatia and Montenegro still have some unsolved issues, where open border issue stands out among others for several reasons. The quality of bilateral relations of these two countries in the future might rely upon procedures and mechanisms of its solving, as well as it is a key challenge for them. We believe that trap Croatia and Slovenia have fallen in could be avoided. Main analysis is focused on key documents, statements by politicians and main foreign policy goals stated by both sides. This paper examines genesis of relations and turnover in geopolitical perception covering period from dissolution of Yugoslavia until closure of negotiations between Croatia and European Union.
