The European Parliament (EP) adopted the Report on Montenegro today at its session in Strasbourg.
During yesterday's debate on the EP Report for Montenegro, the EP Rapporteur for Montenegro, Marjan Šarec, pointed out that Montenegro remains the leading candidate in the enlargement process and has managed to maintain high public support for joining the European Union (EU), "which according to some surveys reaches 80 percent."
He emphasized that both coalition and opposition parties participated in the adoption of laws important for the EU path in the Parliament.
"This shows a high level of awareness that the European path is the only path for Montenegro, the right path and that there is no other alternative. We welcome all efforts so far in adopting the law to close the chapter," said Šarec.
He also emphasizes that despite the temporary suspension of the Croatian side's consent to Chapter 31, it is important that bilateral talks between the two countries continue.
"I would like to briefly emphasize that bilateral issues should not stop the process, as they did not in the case of the last enlargement, although some issues still await a final solution," Šarec added.
