Minister Radulović: The United States has sent clear messages of support to Montenegro

Minister of Foreign Affairs Đorđe Radulović said that the Montenegrin delegation received two clear messages during its several-day visit to the United States.

The message of support to the Government of Montenegro in its efforts to continue country's Euro-Atlantic path and to become the first next member of the EU, but also to all those progressive forces that pursue such policy, said the Minister.

He added that regardless of the liberal interpretation of certain media, which state that Montenegro does not enjoy the trust of our most important ally, partner and friend the United States, our presence here shows that there is full trust between Montenegro and the United States.

What worries us all as citizens is the fact that organised crime and corruption pose a threat to the security of a country as much as extremism and radicalism. In that sense, American officials welcomed the vision of the Government of Montenegro to fight against this. There is no strong Montenegro without its strong institutions, institutions that will not depend on any individual, institutions that will not depend on political changes, said Minister Radulović. He emphasised that only by building strong institutions, we can build a strong Montenegro, which will become the first next member of the European Union.
