With regard to the recent fighting in Macedonia, they strongly supported Macedonia's territorial integrity and condemned violence by ethnic Albanian insurgents. As for Montenegro, which will soon hold a referendum on independence, they expressed support for a democratic Montenegro within the framework of a democratic Yugoslavia.}
