Liberal Alliance of Montenegro (Montenegrin:Liberalni Savez Crne Gore - LSCG; Либерални Савез Црне Горе - ЛСЦГ) was a liberal separatist anti-war political party active in Montenegro between 1990 and 2005. The party used to be a member of Liberal International.
LSCG was the first political party to advocate independent Montenegro during the turbulent 1990s, and remained a strong supporter of the independence idea throughout its existence. It was also the only party that was openly opposed to Montenegrin involvement in the War in Croatia and shelling of Dubrovnik in 1991. Despite advocating Montenegrin nationalism and pursuing separatist policies, LSCG was a strictly pacifist party, opting for democratic means in its political activity. It also openly supported the restoration of Montenegrin language and Montenegrin Orthodox Church.
LSCG was founded on 26 January 1990 by a group of Montenegrin pro-independence oriented intellectuals led by Slavko Perović. LSCG did not participate in the 1990 election, but Perović was one of the candidates at the electoral list of the Union of Reform Forces. During the 1990s, LSCG was the only party in Montenegro which openly advocated independence and opposed the Montenegrin shelling of Dubrovnik and participation of Montenegrin soldiers in the Yugoslav Wars.
During the independence referendum campaign in 1992 LSCG was the main promoter of independence together with Albanian Democratic Alliance, but has decided to boycott the referendum, which resulted in pro-independence option receiving only 3.14% of votes, which meant that Montenegro shall remain a constituent republic (along with Serbia) of FR Yugoslavia.
