The Government of Montenegro can successfully implement the set goals so that in 2028, the country, as the most successful example from the Balkans, will become part of the European Union (EU), believes Vice President of the Assembly Nikola Camaj.

On the occasion of the Report of the European Commission (EC) on the progress of Montenegro and one year of the Government's work, he said that the Report confirmed that the 44th Government managed to achieve a large number of goals from its ambitious agenda and proved its commitment to the EU path.

"That's why I'm sure that this government, in its full composition and capacity, will successfully realize the goals outlined by the announced platform "Barometar 26" so that in 2028 Montenegro, as the most successful example from the Balkans, will become part of the EU family," said Camaj.

According to him, Montenegro has no time to waste.

"The ghosts of the past are something that should not burden our European future," said Camaj.

He said that Montenegro was in a state of deep hibernation for too long, as well as that at one point it managed to distance the country from the European goal.

"From the moment when the inevitable historical changes took place, all the issues that hindered Montenegro's path to the EU were started from a standstill, which is why today we once again bear the epithet of a leading country in the process of EU integration and the most serious candidate for membership as soon as possible," Camaj said. .

As he pointed out, after receiving the Report on the fulfillment of temporary criteria for chapters 23 and 24 (IBAR), the negotiation process revived.

"And Montenegro received a new, stronger wind at its back from all relevant EU partners for the realization of its reform agenda," said Camaj.

As he pointed out, active EU processes, Montenegro's credible partnership with NATO, respect for assumed international obligations, cooperation with everyone in the region and minority rights at the level of European standards have no alternative.
