Latest EU decisions are disappointing. Meeting with the outgoing Head of EU diplomacy, Ms Federica Mogherini, echoed with statements that the same decisions have endangered the credibility of WB countries policy, said Montenegro’s president, Mr Milo Đukanović, following the meeting in Brussels.
Last night, Mr Đukanović attended the meeting of WB leaders, organized by Ms Federica Mogherini in Brussels. He pointed out that their talks were expected and influenced by “what has been going on in the previous weeks”.
As Mr Đukanović said, Ms Mogherini’s final message was that she “expects enlargement process to continue”.
“Everybody in Brussels who deals with the situation in the Balkans knows that the EU needs WB countries. We are faced with a confusion in those relations now, but there are still reasons for optimism. Our future is in the EU and the EU is waiting for the WB countries”, added Mr Đukanović.
He reminded that Montenegro “started the negotiation process seven years ago”.
“We aren’t just countries of the Balkans, we are also European countries”, Mr Đukanović said.
He added that WB countries were striving for the European quality of life.
“Whatever the enlargement policy is, we’ll continue with the Europeanization of our societies. We want to see how we can keep pursuing the same policy in the changed circumstances. We want open dialogue with the EU so that we can get answers to some open questions”, Mr Đukanović pointed out.
It was announced that this would be the last informal meeting with leaders in the region.
