A separate prefix for Montenegro has not yet been assigned by the  
ITU.  Until this occurs, 4N, 4O, YT, YU and YZ prefixes in areas 3  
and 6 are Montenegro, while other numbers are Serbia, i.e., 4N5Y  
would be in Serbia.  This counts the same as the old Serbia and  
Montenegro or even older Yugoslavia.  Montenegro counts as a new  
country under DXCC rules.
