The Constitution of Montenegro was approved by Montenegro's Parliament on October 12, 1992. This established Montenegro as a democratic ecological and social constituent republic of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, with Serbian as its official language. Cetinje is defined as the state's capital. Power is vested in its citizens, who exercise it directly through the election of representatives to the Parliament. Decisions related to changes in constitutional status or to an alteration of borders are subject to a vote of the citizens of Montenegro exercised in a referendum. In the current constitution, there are 121 articles.
The new constitution for the new independent Republic of Montenegro is slated to become the next constitution sometime in spring to summer of 2007. Only after the new constitution takes effect will Montenegro be able to join the Council of Europe.[1]
