Prime Minister Milojko Spajić is actively engaging in the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he has held approximately fifty meetings with state leaders, representatives of globally renowned corporations, universities, and think-tank organisations. Together with regional leaders and representatives of the European Union, he also participated in the panel "Diplomatic Dialogues on the Western Balkans," presenting Montenegro's perspectives in the context of further integration.

Infrastructure connectivity and economic collaboration are the only correct paths for Western Balkan countries, leading towards the European Union. Political divisive issues must be set aside to focus on development. By adhering to this course, the standard of living and eventual membership will naturally follow, emphasised the Prime Minister.

During the panel discussion, the Prime Minister outlined Montenegro's development plan, which includes strengthening the transportation network, economic growth, and improving standard of living through a series of reform processes.

For progress, we need bold decisions and decisive individuals, ready to bring the EU integration process to completion. There must be no more compromises on this in Montenegro, he emphasised.

Other participants in the panel included the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, the EU Special Representative for the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue and other Western Balkan regional issues, Miroslav Lajčák, as well as the foreign ministers of Norway, Austria, Slovenia, and Ukraine.
