STRASBOURG -- Montenegro has become the newest member of the Council of Europe, the continent's top rights and democracy watchdog.
Montenegrin Foreign Minister Milan Roćen signed the documents Friday during an accession ceremony at the council's headquarters in Strasbourg.
"I have the historic honor to greet you on behalf of the citizens and leadership of Montenegro," Roćen said on the occasion.
"This is a great day for us -- a day when we have become a fully fledged member of the Council of Europe, the oldest, distinguished pan-European organization," he stressed.
Serbian foreign minister Vuk Drašković attended the ceremony, as Serbia today takes over chairmanship of the CoE Comittee of Ministers.
