Ibrahimović meets with Troccaz: Montenegro’s notable progress on EU path, France to continue full support

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ervin Ibrahimović met today with France's Special Envoy for the Western Balkans René Troccaz.

Montenegro consistently demonstrates its commitment to achieving its key foreign policy objective—EU membership. The efforts you are making and the results you are achieving are being noticed in Paris, Brussels, and other European capitals. You can count on France's full support in continuing the integration process, said Troccaz.

Minister Ibrahimović highlighted the long-standing tradition of friendly relations between Montenegro and France, noting that next year marks the 145th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.

Our relations are highly substantive, marked by dynamic high-level political dialogue. We deeply value the support France provides for Montenegro's EU integration. As a leader in negotiations, I am confident we will solidify our position by closing four negotiation chapters. In this context, the support of partner countries is of immense importance, the Minister emphasized.

The two officials also exchanged views on other current regional developments. They agreed that the Western Balkans Cyber Capacity Centre (WB3C) would enhance cooperation and strengthen stability. Both affirmed that the European perspective is the best path for fostering further development and prosperity in the Western Balkans.
