There’s only one process that should exist in the Western Balkans (WB) – joining the European Union (EU) – as all the other processes lead the region in a totally different direction, Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic, Mr Miroslav Lajčak, and President of the Committee on International Relations and Emigrants, Mr Andrija Nikolić, assessed today at the meeting held in Bratislava.

“Montenegro remains committed to the internal reforms,“ said Mr Nikolić.
He emphasized that there would be multiple benefits if only Brussels, just as Washington had done, would appoint a special rapporteur on the WB.
“Montenegro’s accession to the EU should be completed in line with the rules established at the beginning of the process,” both sides noted.

Commenting on the global politics, both sides assessed that positions of Slovakia and Montenegro on many matters are the same, having in mind that Montenegro, being the EU candidate country, is in the process of aligning its foreign policy with the one of the EU.
Ambassador of Montenegro to Slovakia H.E. Mr Željko Perović also attended the meetings in Bratislava.
