PM Dritan Abazovic has said in Ohrid, where he is participating in the Open Balkan Summit, together with high representatives of the United States, the European Union and leaders from the Western Balkans, that he has not heard any arguments or things contrary to Montenegro’s interests. The government, he says, will consider all aspects of the Open Balkans before making any decision on joining the Initiative.
He believes that the Open Balkans is not an alternative to the European Union.
“On the contrary, in fact, regional initiatives make the transition to the integration path faster”, Abazovic pointed out.
He has said that he talked to the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, about the extradition of Svetozar Marovic.
“It is a question of justice. He is a man who was convicted of organized crime, he caused great damage to the citizens of Montenegro, and I think that he should serve his sentence in Montenegro. I believe that anything less would not be a good message”, said Abazovic.
