Podgorica, Montenegro (12 November 2018) -- Montenegro is today, 140 years after the Berlin Congress and a turning point in its history, on a safe path to becoming the next full member of the European Union and taking its place among the developed countries. This was underlined at today's ceremony marking the 140th anniversary of the Berlin Congress.
The celebration of the 140th anniversary of the recognition of Montenegro's independence at the Berlin Congress was sponsored by the Office for European Integration and the Rectorate of the University of Montenegro.
Chief Negotiator Aleksandar Drljević reminded of the most important attainment of the Berlin Congress - an international recognition of the statehood of Montenegro, which was won after a long-standing struggle in this region, pointing out that this event represented a new page of Montenegro's history, which laid the foundations for the creation of a modern European state.
"Today, 140 years later, Montenegro, by joining NATO, stands side by side with the European and world powers. It is also a safe and decisive way towards becoming the next full member of the European Union," he added.
