The >>> International Telecommunications Union did not want to give the new >>> country a new prefix and required the states of Montenegro and >>> Serbia to agree upon one or two prefixes of the five (4N, 4O, YT, >>> YU, YZ) from the former Serbia/Montenegro country.

So Montenegro can use 4O0 (Four Oscar >>> Zero) through >>> 4O9 (Four Oscar Nine). Serbia will continue to use the YT and YU >>> prefixes. This will include all call areas (0-9) for each. However >>> the 4N and YZ prefixes have been taken away and given back to the >>> ITU for future use to another nation.
