Forthcoming tasks in the EU accession negotiation process and demanding reforms which Montenegro has to implement require increased cooperation between the Government and civil sector, which is the only way to achieve high-quality results, said Chief negotiator, Mr Aleksandar Drljević.
He pointed out that a serious work was ahead of Montenegro.
“We are carefully considering the situation within the EU- the new composition of the administration in Brussels, current affairs in member states, and we believe that enlargement policy will be in the focus of the mandate. We need full synergy of potentials, cooperation between the Government and NGO sector, with the aim of contributing to the achievement of key foreign policy priority”, said Mr Drljević.
He stressed that the entire negotiating structure was open to cooperation with the NGO representatives and reminded that Montenegro was the first country to include NGO representatives in its negotiation structure.
“Government never wanted to reduce the participation of civil sector representatives”, said Mr Drljević.
