“We welcome yesterday’s vote in the Montenegrin Parliament and congratulate the newly elected Prime Minister Abazović and his government and the newly elected Speaker Đurović of the Montenegrin Parliament for their respective elections.
Picula and Bilčík stated they looked forward to working together with our partners on Montenegro’s path to the European Union.
“While in recent months Montenegro has lost some valuable time on its European journey, we believe that the new government’s political resolve could help accelerate the much-needed reform process reflecting both the work on European values and the overwhelming will of Montenegro’s citizens to join the European Union”, the statement concludes.
