Svetozar Marović (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Светозар Маровић); born 31 March 1955) is a lawyer and a Montenegrin politician. He was the only president of Serbia and Montenegro. His term officially ended on 3 June 2006 when Montenegro declared its independence. Marović was born in Kotor to a Grbljanian father and Montenegrin mother. Kotor was the closest town with a maternity ward but he considers Budva his hometown. He grew up there, and ever since his career in high politics took off, his extended family is one of the most affluent in Budva. He received his degree from Veljko Vlahović University's Faculty of Law in Titograd. ==Ongoing role in Montenegrin politics== In January 1989 Marović seized power over the Socialist Republic of Montenegro together with his partners, Momir Bulatović and Milo Đukanović in an administrative putsch within the League of Communists of Montenegro under the blessings of the Serbian Communists' leader, Slobodan Milošević, which became known as the "anti-bureaucratic revolution". After the first free parliamentary election in 1990 at which the Communist League of Montenegro (SKCG) won majority, he became a member of Montenegro's parliament, and later served as its speaker for three terms. A couple of months after their election win, SKCG was repackaged into the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS). Along with Đukanović and Bulatović, Marović had been a loyal supporter of Slobodan Milošević in all of his policies, but in 1997 he followed Milo Đukanović who broke away from Milošević's influence. In 2001, former Montenegrin president Momir Bulatović released a tell-all memoir named ''Pravila ćutanja'' (''The Rules of Keeping Silent''), accusing Marović, among many others, of accepting large financial compensation in return for turning a blind eye to widespread oil and tobacco smuggling in Montenegro during the 1990s. Marović and Bulatović are former longtime party colleagues. In addition to former close friendship they also share an even more intimate bond through the godfather relations between their families. Despite living in close proximity, as well as sharing many personal and political connections, but perhaps not surprisingly, the two have not spoken to each other in almost a decade. In the book, Bulatović describes a private conversation during the 1990s in which he confronted Marović about the corruption and quotes his answer: "''You see, Momir, you're the first ever President of Montenegro - that's the legacy you're passing on to your children. Me, I want something more concrete to leave my kids with.''" Marović never responded directly to these claims, mentioning only that he hasn't read the book. He added that he was taught some other rules - "like the rule of keeping silent about untruth and slander".〔Slavica Jovović. , "Evropa", 26 August 2004.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Svetozar Marović」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
