Can anyone tell me under what law Thaksin has been charged - and how this would be received in terms of extradition by Montenegro and as it seems pertinent - the EU?

Second hit on Google: Thailand Penal Code Terrorism:

Thailand

On 11 August 2003 the amendments to the Penal Code came into effect as the result of an Emergency Decree issued by the government.

The enacted version of the Penal Code now states relevantly as follows:13

Section 7

Whoever commits the following offences outside the Kingdom shall be punished in the Kingdom, namely:

1. Offences relating to the Security of the Kingdom as provided in Section 107 to 129;

i Offences relating to terrorism as provided in Section 135/1, 135/2, 135/3 and 135/4;

2. Offences relating to Counterfeiting and Alteration as provided in Sections 240 to 249, Section 256, Section 257, and Section 266/3 and 266/4;

3. Offence relating to Robbery as provided in Section 339, and Offence relating to Gang-Robbery as provided in Section 240, which is committed on the high seas.

Section 135/1

Whoever commits any of the following criminal offences:

1. an act of violence or any act to cause death or serious injury to the life and freedom of an individual;

2. an act causing serious damage to a public transportation system, a telecommunication system, or an infrastructure facility of public use;

3. an act causing damage to property belonging to a State or an individual, or the environment, resulting or likely to result in major economic loss.

if the commission of the offence is intended to threaten or coerce the Royal Thai Government, or any foreign government, or an international organization, to do or abstain from doing any act which causes serious damage, or is intended to raise unrest so as to intimidate a population, that person is said to commit a terrorist act and shall be punished with death, imprisonment for life, or imprisonment of three to twenty years and fine of sixty thousand to one million baht.

As for how it's interpreted, you'll need an international lawyer to tell you that!
