Sažetak

The purpose of this paper is to present the main foreign policy priorities of Montenegro since the restoration of its independence in 2006, and to explain why accession negotiations with the European Union were interrupted. The fact is that the European integration of Montenegro is its most important foreign policy priority, which has not changed even after the defeat of the three-decade-old government in the 2020 elections. At least declaratively. Also, the work includes the influence of the Russian Federation on the area of the Western Balkans, and the complex activities of the Russian state and the Russian Orthodox Church aimed at destabilizing the region. The mentioned activities indirectly but as it turned out decisively contributed to the collapse of the Montenegrin state structure, i.e. the failure of the entire state system. The paper describes the methodology of instrumentalization of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro in order to achieve the defined interests of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Serbia. Also, the genesis of the ideas of "Russian soft power" and "Russian world" is described, on the basis of which the idea of "Serbian world" was developed as a modified version of Serbia's big-state policies from the 1990s. Ultimately, the paper shows the reaction of the main policy makers for the region and tries to anticipate the further course of events.
