Prime Minister Dritan Abazović had the honor of being hosted at the headquarters of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), led by Michael Tichnor. During this visit, he engaged with representatives from various states, discussing current political and social circumstances, as well as the opportunities within Montenegro.

Regarding relations with the United States, Abazović emphasized that the United States is Montenegro's most significant foreign policy partner, with our foreign policy being in complete alignment with that of the United States and the European Union.
