Montenegro strives to affirm the civic concept of a modern state, which respects the diversity and freedom of all citizens, said the head of the Assembly's permanent delegation in the Parliamentary dimension of the Central European Initiative (CEI), Tamara Vujović.

As announced by the Assembly, Vujović participated in the online meeting of the General Committee for Cultural Affairs, which was held today in the organization of the National Assembly of Hungary.

She pointed out that cultural diversity is a force that creates unity and solidarity and at the same time enriches societies.

"Unfortunately, we are witnessing a time in which the health, economic and political crisis is exactly fueling the issues of cultural differences and identity divisions," stated Vujović.

She added that she sincerely believes that a firm commitment and active involvement in various forms of struggle for all kinds of universal human freedoms and human dignity is necessary.

"Vujović emphasized that Montenegro strives to affirm the civic concept of a modern state, which respects the diversity and freedom of all citizens, and that it has a clear determination to become part of the European family of nations with which it shares these values," the statement said.

Vujović pointed out the plans for Montenegro's one-year CEI presidency.

In this regard, she pointed out that Montenegro plans to include topics related to environmental protection, connectivity, international scientific cooperation and socio-economic recovery of the region among the priorities of its presidency.
