Croatia continues to support a pro-European Montenegro

Montenegrin President Milo Đukanović ended his two-day to Croatia on Friday, after spending the day with his host, President Zoran Milanović, on the Brijuni Islands.

The two leaders discussed the situation in Montenegro. Đukanović said his country must continue to develop as a democratic, secular, and pro-European nation, a sentiment with which President Milanović agreed.

Croatia will continue to support Montenegro's European path as a pro-European Montenegro is important as a neighbour and NATO partner, said President Milanović. The two presidents exchanged information and views on Montenegro's EU accession negotiations as well as the situation in Southeast Europe, Milanović's office said in a statement.
