Montenegro has taken steps toward addressing historical war crimes and fostering regional reconciliation with Croatia. Vice President Budimir Aleksić announced that the Montenegrin government plans to compensate its citizens who were victims of the Lora concentration camp in Split, Croatia. Aleksić described the initiative as a matter of “elementary humanity” and a priority to support Montenegro’s European integration and bilateral relations.

Following these developments, Montenegrin Foreign Minister Ervin Ibrahimović, Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman, and EU Commissioner Marta Kos participated in a commemorative ceremony at the Morinj memorial plaque.
