President of the Parliament of Montenegro Mr Ivan Brajović, paid a two-day working visit to the Republic of Italy, in mid-January 2017 on the occasion of the adoption of the NATO Accession Protocol for Montenegro, when he met in Rome President of the Italian Chamber of Deputies Ms Laura Boldrini, Deputy Foreign Minister Mr Vincenzo Amendola and senators - Mr Pier Ferdinando Casini, Chairperson of the Senate’s Committee on Foreign Policy and Emigration, Mr Vannino Chiti, Chairperson of the Committee on European Union Policies and Mr Aldo Di Biagio and Mr Stefano Collina, members of the Friendship group with Montenegro in the Italian Senate.
During the conversation with the Italian senators, the participants discussed topics in the field of parliamentary cooperation and models that can improve and further develop inter-parliamentary relations, which is of particular importance for the process of integration of our country in the EU and NATO.
Senator Mr Pier Ferdinando Casini, Chairperson of the Senate’s Committee on Foreign Policy and Emigration, said on that occasion:
- It is important to strengthen relations between Italy and Montenegro. Relations are already great, and we greatly appreciate the achieved level of cooperation between the parliaments. The parliaments of Montenegro and Italy will continue to cooperate. The goals are the same: European Union, accession to NATO and harmony between the two countries, which contribute to the stability of the Mediterranean.
Visit by the Italian senators to the Parliament of Montenegro and signing of the Protocol of Cooperation is a great contribution to strengthening parliamentary cooperation between Montenegro and Italy, and sign of support to the European and Euro-Atlantic integration of Montenegro.
