Montenegro, as a responsible member state, will continue to strongly promote the values of multilateralism, as well as the strategic goals and principles of the Council of Europe. In this regard, the membership of the Republic of Kosovo in the Council of Europe (CoE) should be supported, with the aim of strengthening stability in the region, said Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs and President of the Bosniak Party Ervin Ibrahimović.
He participated in the work of the 134th session of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, held in Luxembourg, where he spoke about complex geopolitical challenges and the importance of investing joint and coordinated efforts to overcome them, as well as the role and importance of the Council of Europe in solving global challenges, according to a statement sent to the media by the Bosniak Party (BS).
Ibrahimović welcomed the idea of a New Democratic Pact as a framework for defending common values and strengthening democracy. In particular, as stated in the statement, he highlighted the progress in comprehensive reforms that have enabled Montenegro to make significant strides on its path towards the EU, as well as the recognition of the active role of the Council of Europe as a reliable partner in this process, for which we are very grateful.
"Montenegro will chair the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in the period 2026-2027, which coincides with important national anniversaries - 20 years since the restoration of independence, 10 years of membership in NATO and 20 years of membership in the Council of Europe," said the head of Montenegrin diplomacy.
On the sidelines of the session, President Ibrahimović met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Monaco, Isabelle Bero-Amadi, and held a trilateral meeting with Minister Bero-Amadi and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Moldova, Mihail Popsoi.
The focus of the talks, as stated in the statement, was the coordination of the three countries' preparations for chairing the Committee of Ministers and the programmatic harmonization of activities with the aim of further improving cooperation and a joint response to current challenges.
