Typically, after incidents with fines, entry restrictions and arrests for both local and visiting Albanians for hanging their flags in public places, ethnic Albanians in the leadership of Montenegro, with the participation of local Albanian parties and the leadership of neighboring Albania, managed to obtain permission to hang Albanian flags flags on the territory of Montenegro.
At the same time, the Serbian tricolor is still banned in this country, and prosecution for its public use was not practiced only at rallies of the Montenegrin opposition, when law enforcement officers were afraid of provoking the masses.
