Montenegro and France are committed to the continuous strengthening of bilateral relations, and last year they achieved the most dynamic cooperation since the establishment of diplomatic relations, it was assessed in a conversation between Minister of Foreign Affairs Ervin Ibrahimović and French Minister Delegate for Europe Benjamin Hadad.
Ibrahimović recalled successful joint projects, including the opening of the Western Balkans Cyber Capability Center (WB3C), and thanked France for its continued support for Montenegro's European integration.
He, as announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MVP), said that Montenegro appreciates the presence of European Union (EU) member states in the region, as well as the clear message that the future of the Western Balkans lies within the Union.
"By strengthening our partnership, we are jointly contributing to the vision of a more stable, secure and prosperous Europe," said Ibrahimović.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Adad confirmed that France will continue to support Montenegro on its path to EU membership, emphasizing strong support for the reforms that Montenegro is implementing.
"He expressed satisfaction with the dynamics of bilateral cooperation, assessing as positive the expansion of areas in which France and Montenegro will cooperate more intensively," the statement said.
This, it added, was confirmed through today's signing of a series of bilateral agreements, which envisage the intensification of contacts in the areas of strengthening police and civil security, public administration reform, culture, education and foreign affairs.
The Ministry said that the signing of the agreement represents an additional confirmation of the two countries' commitment to strengthening interstate relations and strategic partnership.
