Consultations that took place today showed that transition of power is going smoothly, despite unfounded suspicions of one part of national and international public over potential obstructions. With the proposal for prime minister-designate, we confirm that Montenegro’s national interest is above everything else, said Montenegro’s president, Mr Milo Đukanović, during the meeting with the Head of the EU Delegation to Montenegro, Ms Oana-Cristina Popa, who handed him over the EC Report on Montenegro.
President pointed out that every decision and initiative which had interest in Montenegro and its European path would be endorsed.
He said that the Report “is expected and realistic outlook of partners”.
Mr Đukanović praised new EC approach in the context of investment encouragement for WB countries, indicating some serious challenges in overcoming consequences of coronavirus and returning economy to sustainability and intense development.
Ms Popa pointed out that her intention was to hand over the report to the president first, but it had to be delayed due to his international activities.
She congratulated the president on the agreement he reached today with the representatives of the governing majority and said that Report discussed Government’s activities in the previous period.
“It is very important that the new government starts activities that will provide citizens with the benefits of the EU before full-fledged membership”, Ms Popa said.
“EU Ambassador reiterated strong commitment to assisting Montenegro in the improvement of the rule of law and judicial reform, through cooperation with the new government, the Parliament and the president”, the statement said.
