May 21 is the day of Montenegro's official exit from the Serb-Montenegrin Union, celebrated in the country since 2006 and is considered a national holiday. On this day in the historic center of the country - the ancient city of Cetinje, there are solemn events and folk festivities.
According to official data, for the 2006 referendum, the main issue of which was the exit of Montenegro from the Union, was 86% of voters, of whom 55.5% voted for independence. This figure was deemed sufficient to make a decision on the disintegration of the Union. The preponderance was so minimal that this issue worries analysts so far. A similar situation is observed today as a result of surveys of residents of the country on the topic of loyalty to the entry of Montenegro into NATO. Opposition media argue that the true attitude towards this step (negative) is silenced by the authorities intentionally. Official sources are convinced that the majority of Montenegrins vote for joining the Euro-Alliance.
