“In this fight, we need both the assistance and understanding in the short term. Our actions today will save lives in the following weeks. We do not have time to make delay, and this is clearly indicated by examples of our friendly European countries, which experience one of the most dramatic moments in their history. We need to find adequate responses as soon as possible,” Mr Simović said.
Ambassadors were informed that Montenegro’s Prime Minister had already launched an initiative on a regional joint response to the coronavirus.
