The US Senate will ratify the NATO–Montenegro accession protocol soon, said Sen. John McCain in a telephone conversation with Prime Minister Dusko Markovic.
As the government announced, McCain called PM Markovic to congratulate him on the new position and expressed regret cancelling his visit that was supposed to be paid on 2 January due to unexpected obligations that emerged in Washington.
“He said he would visit Montenegro as soon as possible along with a group of US senators,” it was said in the government’s statement.
Markovic thanked McCain for his congratulations and said he was confident that the partnership between Montenegro and the United States would be continued in the future.
“The strategic partnership between the two countries will be further strengthened by Montenegro’s membership in the North Atlantic Alliance,” said Markovic.
