Kasit expected to talk about Thaksin with Montenegro

Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya will meet on Monday Montenegro’s high ranking officials including president and prime minister in a bid to boost the bilateral cooperation and relations.

One of the topics expected to be raised when they meet in the capital of Podgorica is about runaway ex-Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra who is holding Montenegrin citizenship.

Thaksin was given the citizenship reportedly because he was investing in construction of hotel in seaside Budva city of Montenegro.

The Abhisit government has been putting pressure on the countries which allowed Thaksin to take shelters and particularly those that gave him nationality and special treatment.
