According to The Daily DX, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) did not want to give Montenegro an entirely new prefix, so it required the states of Montenegro and Serbia to agree upon one or two prefixes from the five (4N, 4O, YT, YU and YZ) assigned to the former Serbia-Montenegro. [blue][i][b]An agreement was reached May 11, and the ITU now lists 4O (that's "four Oscar") as Montenegro's prefix. This means Montenegro stations may use 4O0 through 4O9, [/b][/i][/blue]while Serbia stations will continue to use YT and YU prefixes for all call districts, 0 through 9. [red][i][b]The ITU has taken back the former 4N and YZ prefixes for future reassignment[/b][/i][/red]. The ITU reportedly wants the two nations to complete the transition to new call sign blocks as soon as possible. The Daily DX Editor Bernie McClenny, W3UR, [black][i][b]recommends that DXers update their logging software carefully to reflect the changes[/b][/i][/black].
