Thomas Waitz at AFET: We see Abazović as the guarantor of Montenegro's European path

Deputy Prime Minister of Montenegro Dritan Abazović delivered an address at the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) during an exchange of views on the Draft Report on the 2019-2020 Commission Reports on Montenegro, the situation in Montenegro and the scope of negotiations with the European Union.

Member of the European Parliament and Co-Chair of the European Green Party Thomas Waitz congratulated the Deputy Prime Minister on assuming the office and said that he saw Abazović as the guarantor of Montenegro's European path.

Waitz said that there was a lot of controversy and various statements that Montenegro would take some other paths after the change of government.

Thomas Waitz showed interest in how cohabitation works, as well as what has been done in cases of attacks on journalists, such as the murder of Dan editor-in-chief Duško Jovanović and the attempted murder of Vijesti investigative journalist Olivera Lakić.

Co-Chair of the European Green Party Thomas Waitz said that Ulcinj Salina is an issue of great importance for the biodiversity of the entire region, and asked Abazović what the plan of the Government of Montenegro is in that regard.
