Pejović: The summit in Tivat confirmed that the EU values ​​Montenegro's results on its European path

The summit in Tivat confirmed that the European Union (EU) appreciates Montenegro's achievements on its European path, Boris Pejović, member of the Presidency of the Europe Now Movement (PES) and Vice President of the Parliament of Montenegro, announced today.

"The European Union - Western Balkans Summit, held in Tivat, represents a strong confirmation that the European Union recognizes and appreciates the efforts that Montenegro is making on its European path. The messages sent by the highest European officials represent a strong incentive to continue with the reforms that are leading Montenegro towards achieving its strategic goal - full membership in the European Union," Pejović emphasized in a statement submitted by PES.

He added that it is particularly significant "that Montenegro was the host of this important gathering, the largest and most significant in our history, which once again confirmed Montenegro's role as a leader in the European integration process in the region."

"The organization of such a gathering in Montenegro represents additional confirmation of the growing international reputation of our country and the trust that European partners have in its European course," said Pejović.

In his words, "the summit sent a clear message that progress is valued through concrete results and implemented reforms, which represents recognition for everything that Montenegro has achieved in a very short period of time."

"Therefore, we are further encouraged by the assessments of European leaders that Montenegro's membership in the European Union is an achievable goal if we continue with consistent implementation of reforms, strengthening the rule of law and improving institutions. There is still a lot of work ahead of us, but the messages from Tivat confirm that the effort, responsibility and commitment to reforms are being recognized. That is why we continue resolutely, with the belief that all socio-political actors are aware that Montenegro's European future depends primarily on our results, but also convinced that our country is closer to membership in the European Union today than ever in its history," said Pejović.
