A joint declaration on the Euro-Atlantic perspective of Ukraine that the outgoing Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic signed yesterday with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky was originally addressed to the President of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic, as a declaration to be signed by the heads of the countries, Pobjeda daily learns.
The Ukraine’s Embassy to Montenegro, the Montenegrin Foreign Affairs Ministry and the Ukrainian President Zelensky sent the document to Djukanovic’s office.
According to the information of Pobjeda, President Djukanovic’s office asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Montenegrin embassy in Kyiv and the Mission of Montenegro to NATO for the opinion on the text.
They expected to get the answer by mid-December, but instead, found out from the media that the outgoing Prime Minister Abazovic had already signed the declaration with Zelensky.
It’s not clear how PM Abazovic signed the document initially sent to Djukanovic and why the President’s office was not informed about it.
Mr Abazovic informed the public that he was going to sign the declaration yesterday morning. He had been talking to the Ukrainian President for nearly 14 hours after which they signed the declaration.
