==>MONTENEGRO POISED TO BECOME NEWEST DXCC ENTITY

The Republic of Montenegro, which declared its independence June 3, has
applied for United Nations membership, according to The Daily DX
<http://www.dailydx.com>. The move paves the way for the tiny Balkan nation
to join the ARRL DXCC list.

"Once Montenegro is accepted into the UN or obtains a call sign prefix
block, DXers will have a new DXCC entity," says ARRL Membership Services
Manager Wayne Mills, N7NG.

The division of Serbia and Montenegro eliminates what remained of
Yugoslavia. Serbia's parliament this week declared Serbia a sovereign nation
as heir to the former Serbia-Montenegro union. Assuming that Serbia
continues to hold its current seat in the UN, it will remain on the DXCC
list as a pre-existing and continuing DXCC entity, Mills explained.

A decision on whether to admit Montenegro into the UN must go before the UN
Security Council and then to the UN General Assembly. A UN spokesperson
could not say how long the process might take, The Daily DX said.
