“Ms Maddocks congratulated Mr Đukanović on peaceful elections held at the end of August. They also talked about friendly relations between the UK and Montenegro”, British Embassy in Podgorica reported.
According to Ms Maddocks, UK continues to support Montenegro’s development and reforms in a wide variety of areas.
“We pledge our support for the construction of professional, independent media and strengthening education through “Schools for the 21st century” program. We are also going to work on strengthening rule of law, including training in judiciary”, Ms Maddocks said.
She said they would continue to support Montenegro’s aspirations in the area of economic reform and development, especially in the context of the improvement of business environment and labor market.
Ms Maddocks covered a set of different topics in Asia and, most recently, in China. She pointed out that she was looking forward to living in MNE, learning Montenegrin and building bridges between the two countries.
