Support for the European prospects of the region was also confirmed at the EU-Western Balkans Summit, organised despite the circumstances caused by the Covid pandemic 19. Speaking about domestic developments, he pointed out that Montenegro can rightly be proud of its multinational and multi-confessional character, which makes a significant contribution to the regional stability.
All attempts to endanger the harmonious coexistence and the civil and secular character of Montenegro will be unsuccessful - Mr Brajović said.
