Montenegrin President Jakov Milatović will meet today with European Commission (EC) President Ursula von der Leyen, the Public Relations Office of the President of Montenegro announced today.
"This important meeting is taking place in the context of Montenegro's accelerated European integration, and the central topic of the discussion will be the start of drafting the Treaty on the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union. Special emphasis will be placed on advancing reforms in the area of the rule of law, economic and infrastructural development in line with European standards, as well as the importance of the European perspective of the Western Balkans," the statement said.
The Public Relations Office of the President of Montenegro added that Von der Leyen's visit "represents a strong political message and confirmation of Montenegro's European perspective at a time when European processes are increasingly intensifying."
"At the recently held European Political Community Summit in Copenhagen, President Milatović called on European leaders to begin drafting the Treaty on the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union, thus clearly emphasizing the country's readiness to take a decisive step towards full membership," said the Public Relations Office of the President of Montenegro.
