Government of Montenegro: we are proud of our history, our friendship and alliance with USA is strong and permanent

The Government of Montenegro, taking into account the interest of numerous domestic and foreign media to comment on yesterday's statement by US President Donald Trump given in an interview with TV FOX, adopted at today's 86th Cabinet session the following stance:

Montenegro is proud of its history and tradition and peaceful politics that led to the position of a stabilising state in the region and the only state in which the war didn't rage during disintegration of the former Yugoslavia.

The country that has hosted and protected 120,000 affected people and families.

The country that was the first in Europe to resist the Fascism, and today as a new NATO member and a candidate for the EU membership it contributes to peace and stability not only on the European continent but worldwide, along with US soldiers in Afghanistan.

We build friendships, and we have not lost single one, and at the same time we are able to boldly and defensively protect and defend our own national interests.

In today's world, it does not matter how big or small you are, but to what extent you cherish the values of freedom, solidarity and democracy.

Therefore, the friendship and the alliance of Montenegro and the United States of America is strong and permanent.
