Abazović: Four-year NATO membership has brought multiple benefits to Montenegro

Published on: Jun 5, 2021 11:00 AM Author: Office of the Deputy Prime Minister

After the change of government, the Agreement of three leaders from September 2020, and the visit to Brussels, the support of citizens for Montenegro's membership in NATO has increased enormously, said Deputy Prime Minister of Montenegro  Dritan Abazović on the occasion of Montenegro's fourth anniversary of membership in the Alliance.

DPM Abazović pointed out that the four-year membership of our country in NATO had multiple benefits, such as a system of collective defence and security, but also the strengthening of democracy and the rule of law.

"Montenegro's membership in the Alliance had implications for the peaceful transition of the former 30-year government, and had a key impact on international support for the new government on the path to further European integration and comprehensive reforms, which the government received immediately after its formation," he said.

The Deputy Prime Minister concluded that four years after full membership, Montenegro remains fully committed to implementing all international obligations, strengthening and improving cooperation with the Alliance, and actively working to preserve peace and stability in the Western Balkans, preserving the integrity and reputation of the Alliance.
