[edit] 1999 bombings

According to the BBC article cited in this article targets in Montenegro were bombed by NATO during the Kosovo war. But what kind of targets were they if they were only barracks and other infrastructure of the federal military was targeted and local infrastructure was left intact it should be mentioned. I remember that NATO in some ways respected Montenegro autonomy from Serbia. Mieciu K 21:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Translation of Crna Gora

It says that "Crna Gora" litterally means "black mountain." I think "Montenegro" in Italian would mean that, but in Serbian, Black Mountain would be "Crna planina." What? The RSJ ^¿Qué? 23:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Either one [1]. Maybe I should raise my babel userbox or you should decrease yours? ;) // Laughing Man 00:08, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

"Gora" can actually mean either forest or mountain. Example: Biogradska Gora, means Biograd Forest and the mountain between Serbia and Macedonia, Crna Gora, means Black Mountain

Montenegro was named for the black forests of Mount Lovćen and probably the mountain of Lovćen itself. This is according to historical accounts. Crna Gora 02:12, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thanks... The RSJ ^¿Qué? 02:06, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] James Bond

"Recognition in popular culture following independence has been swift, with Montenegro providing a setting for the James Bond film Casino Royale (2006 film), the location of the titular casino (relocated from the fictional French town of the novel, Casino Royale)."

This is wrong. Not one scene was shot in Montenegro. It is Karlsbad in Czech republic what is presented as Montenegro.

Wrong, Sjenica. Karlsbad provided the setting for the casino itself, but most of scenes that take place in Montenegro were shot there. This is often the case in movie industry. Eg, Dr Zhivago was shot in Madrid, not in Russia, etc. It would probably be too expensive to film those scenes in an actual MN resort, such as Sveti Stefan. Karlsbad place wasn't used for decades. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.240.0.99 (talk • contribs) 04:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC).
