Montenegro must face many challenges on its way towards the EU. Firstly, rule of law, and then freedom of media and fight against corruption, said in the interview for “Dan” Dr. Robert Weber, German ambassador to Montenegro.
Journalists asked him how he sees the situation regarding freedom of the media in Montenegro and he said that freedom of media and rule of law represent necessary prerequisites for the progress of a society and common life in the “joint European house”.
“Not only does this apply to candidate countries but also to the Member States. European perspective requires facing the issues from the domain of the rule of law, freedom of media and freedom of speech. Unsolved murders are heavy burden for everybody affected: family members, friends but also for the security authorities”, said Weber.
He pointed out that Montenegro has already made great success within the accession negotiations with the EU.
“What has been considered impossible can become reality. Brave political decisions and commitment of citizens can make it happen. Montenegro has become a leader among the Balkan countries in the accession process and this position should be maintained in the forthcoming years. We’ll face all the challenges together”, said Weber.
