Abazović meets with Bisera Turković: I feel at home in Sarajevo

We want to build the best relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina. We extend our hand of friendship. I feel at home in Sarajevo, said Deputy Prime Minister Dritan Abazović after the meeting with Deputy Chairperson of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina Bisera Turković.

DPM Abazović noted that relations between the two countries are friendly, based on common priorities, such as European integration, adding that the future of the Western Balkans is in the EU and that it is an ideal path to a stable and secure region. In that sense, Abazović emphasised that good neighbourly relations and European integration are key to economic and infrastructural recovery and development.

DPM Abazović said that in addition to NATO membership, full membership in the EU remains a strategic goal of Montenegro, adding that it has no alternative, which is why Montenegro highly values unequivocal support for the European perspective of the Western Balkans.

Chairperson of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina Bisera Turković expressed gratitude to Montenegro and Deputy Prime Minister Abazović for adopting the Resolution on the Srebrenica genocide and stated that confronting the past will contribute to better regional cooperation that will result in EU accession.

Furthermore, the two officials discussed numerous joint infrastructure projects, problems with the construction of HPP Buk-Bijela, better cooperation in the field of tourism and opportunities to improve regional and multilateral cooperation.
