The Secretary of State to the Italian Chargé (Sabetta)

Aide-Mémoire

With reference to the oral request of July 14, of the Italian Chargé d’Affaires with regard to the relations between the United States and Montenegro, the Secretary of State begs to point out that, during the war, the United States had no diplomatic or consular officers stationed in Montenegro, and has not deemed it necessary to accredit or assign any new ones.

Montenegro was, however, represented in New York by an Honorary Consul General, whose letters patent were revoked by the American Government on January 21, 1921, thus ending all official relations with Montenegro.
