The issue of Montenegro's membership in North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) again becomes the highlight on the Montenegrin public arena. Although Montenegro has not yet received an invitation to join, the public widely discusses whether the decision to join this community should be brought in a referendum or in the Parliament.
One thing is for sure, the opinion of the citizens must not be ignored. This attitude further gains in strength if one takes into account the message of NATO officals that invitation shall be only sent after Montenegro secures the "stable" citizen support. CEDEM, an organization that closely follows the process of Euro-Atlantic integration, brings the latest research on public attitudes on this issue.
