If they could vote for Montenegro to remain in NATO, 50% of citizens would support the decision, while 30% of the population would vote for the country’s exit from the Alliance, according to a NATO 2020 report presented yesterday by Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. It’s added that 20% of Montenegrin citizens are undecided.

As in 2019, a majority of citizens would vote in a referendum to keep their country a member of NATO (62%, compared to 64% in 2019), and only 11% said they would vote for their country to leave the Alliance”, the report states.

The report also says that the majority of allied citizens (58%) still see NATO membership as a chance to reduce the likelihood of a foreign attack, and only 16% disagree with that statement.
