Milatovic: New EU enlargement date somewhat discouraging

The new date mentioned in the context of the enlargement of the European Union (EU) – 2030, is somewhat discouraging, especially for the countries that are the most advanced in that process, says the President of Montenegro, Jakov Milatovic.

After the meeting with the Prime Minister of Luxembourg Xavier Bethel, he said that in the previous period, there was a lack of stronger communication between Montenegro and the Montenegrin authorities and the capitals of the EU member states.

He added that this was exactly the goal of his visits – to strengthen the presence and communication between Montenegro and the member states.

According to Milatovic, Luxembourg, as a small country similar to Montenegro in many respects, can be a strong voice of support for Montenegro on its further path to the EU.

“The new date mentioned – 2030, is a bit discouraging, especially for the countries that are most advanced in that process, and here, above all, I am thinking of Montenegro”, says Milatovic.

He has added that this is exactly the message he wants to convey to the capitals of the EU and EC member states – that Montenegro, in the context of the enlargement process, is the most advanced of all countries.

He has repeated he believes that the accession of Montenegro to the EU can be a good signal to all other countries of the Western Balkans and Eastern Europe that the enlargement process is still alive.
