“Montenegro is absolutely convinced that the only way to establish reliable stability and development in the Western Balkans is through European and Euro-Atlantic integration. In the Western Balkans region, we desperately need Greece’s help and support in protecting our region from the malignant influence of third parties”, said Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic at a meeting with Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Athens.
President Djukanovic thanked for the support in the protective equipment provided to our country by Greece in the first phase of our fight against the coronavirus infection.
“You and I had a very detailed and very open conversation on regional issues and showed absolute agreement on these issues, and I do not see the need to repeat any of that in this format, except for two sentences.
The first is that Montenegro is absolutely convinced that the only way to establish reliable stability and development in the Western Balkans is through European and Euro-Atlantic integration. And the second sentence is: in the Western Balkans we really need the help and support of Greece, especially in talks with EU and NATO partners to overcome the lack of intensity in EU enlargement policy and to be more effective in protecting our region from the malignant influence of third parties”, President Djukanovic pointed out.
PM Mitsotakis said that, during the talks with President Djukanovic, exceptional bilateral relations were confirmed, but also “the perspective on cooperation that is opening up to us, especially when it comes to business and economy”.
