Montenegrin President Jakov Milatović and Prime Minister Milojko Spajić welcomed the leaders of the European Union (EU) and the Western Balkans to Lovćen tonight, ahead of the EU-Western Balkans Summit to be held in Tivat tomorrow, the Public Relations Office of the President of Montenegro announced.
"From Boka Bay, with one of the most beautiful views in Europe, the leaders arrived at Lovćen, a place that for Montenegro means history, freedom and pride," the statement said.
The Public Relations Office of the President of Montenegro added that in the year when Montenegro marks 20 years of restoration of independence, Milatović welcomed European and regional leaders to the country, which is completing its work on the path to EU membership.
"Let's toast to friendship, peace and our common European future. Welcome to Montenegro, the next member of the European Union," said Milatović.
The statement says that the informal dinner was an introduction to tomorrow's Summit in Tivat, one of the most significant international events in Montenegro since the restoration of independence.
"Montenegro welcomes Europe tomorrow as the country that has come furthest on the path to EU membership — and as a country that is entering the final chapter of one of the most important chapters of its modern history," said the Public Relations Office of the President of Montenegro.
