The Herceg Novi Municipal Assembly has introduced a discussion regarding the formal legal status of the Prevlaka peninsula and Cape Oštro. The initiative followed a roundtable discussion organized by the Boke Kotorska NGO Council.

While the determination of state borders remains a matter of national jurisdiction through diplomatic relations between Montenegro and Croatia, local officials have debated the appropriateness of the municipal discussion. Some representatives argued that local debates should not weaken Montenegro’s negotiating position with Croatia.
