The Security Council has decided to recommend to the General
Assembly that the Republic of Montenegro be admitted as a
Member of the United Nations. On behalf of the members of
the Security Council, I wish to extend my congratulations to
the Republic of Montenegro on this historic occasion.

The Council notes with great satisfaction the Republic of
Montenegro's solemn commitment to uphold the purposes and

all the obligations contained therein.

We look forward to the Republic of Montenegro joining us as a
Member of the United Nations and to working closely with its
representatives. End text.
