Kotor (kô`tôr), Ital. Cattaro, town (1991 pop. 5,620), SE Montenegro, on the Bay of Kotor, an inlet of the Adriatic. It is a seaport and a tourist center. The town was colonized by Greeks (3d cent. B.C.) and later belonged to the Roman and Byzantine empires. In 1797 it passed to Austria and became an important naval base; in 1918 it was transferred to Yugoslavia and was included in the constituent republic of Montenegro after World War II. It has a medieval fort and town walls and a 16th-century cathedral. As the oldest town in Montenegro, it is a state-protected historical monument. |

As NATO planes flew over from Italy several blasts were heard in the area of Kotor Bay, where the headquarters of the Yugoslav Navy is located. In a joint declaration signed in Geneva on 30 September, President Franjo Tudiman of Croatia and President Dobrica Cosic of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia had fixed 20 October as the date for JNA's withdrawal from the Previaka peninsula, a significant step towards improving security in the regions of Dubrovnik and Kotor Bay. Licensed from LucasArts, KOTOR was developed for the Mac by Aspyr's internal development team, Aspyr Studios. |
