Escobar: Milatovic agrees with US position on govt, we’re convinced he understood what we conveyed to him

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Gabriel Escobar said that the US diplomats in the Montenegrin delegation in New York, specifically President Jakov Milatovic, understood the need for pro-European parties to form the Government.

We remind you that CdM was the first to announce that Milatovic would meet with Escobar during his stay in the USA, and that the conversation could be unpleasant.

President Milatovic had important and productive meetings with Councilor Shelley, the State Secretary and representatives of the White House, Escobar says for the Voice of America (VoA). The United States has been very clear that we want the government to be made up exclusively of parties focused on European integration and committed to NATO, who share our position regarding Russia, he has stressed. He pointed out that they were very clear about that and that Milatovic signaled that he agreed with that. “We want to form a government and bring together the parties. He, as head of state, has a very important role to convey the right message to the people, Escobar stressed for VoA.
