June 2006 CE
Montenegro begins the process of seeking international recognition as well as a seat at international organizations, and on June 28, 2006, it becomes the 192nd member state of the United Nations.
In addition, the member-states of the European Union and the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council all recognize Montenegro's independence; doing so removes all remaining obstacles from Montenegro's path towards becoming the world's newest sovereign state.
However, the pro-Union bloc in Montenegro refuses to acknowledge the result of the referendum.
