During his meeting with President of Croatia Mr Zoran Milanović, President of the Parliament of Montenegro Mr Ivan Brajović emphasised that this visit represented another confirmation of good bilateral relations between the two countries, as well as a clear support to Montenegro on its integration path. He thanked the Republic of Croatia on its help in fulfilment of our foreign policy goals, where the cooperation of the two parliaments played a great role.
“Croatia’s support has been even more significant, bearing in mind that it comes from a friendly neighbouring country, which managed to also dedicate its presidency of the Council of the EU, in challenging times, to policy of integration of Western Balkans states to the Union”, pointed out Mr Brajović.
President of the Republic of Croatia said that his coming to Montenegro so quickly after assuming office was no coincidence:
“You are a country that has made good and timely decisions. By joining NATO and negotiating with the EU, you clearly and irrevocably chose the nature of Western democracies”, added Mr Milanović. He emphasised that the EU was the best environment for our countries and that it was a society where Croatia could like to see Montenegro as soon as possible, as the first member state in the next foreseeable period.
During the meeting they discussed health and economic challenges, convinced that both Montenegro and the Republic of Croatia would overcome them successfully.
The meeting was also attended by Vice President of the Parliament of Montenegro Mr Branimir Gvozdenović, as well as MP Mr Adrijan Vuksanović.
