Strengthening cooperation, bilateral relations with Montenegro

Belgrade, 22 October 2024

Prime Minister Miloš Vučević met with Speaker of the Parliament of Montenegro Andrija Mandić today to discuss the improvement of cooperation.

Serbia has good economic relations and trade in goods and services with Montenegro, the Prime Minister said, expressing readiness to work on the improvement of relations between the two brotherly and friendly states.

Montenegro is a state that has historically had no one closer than Serbia, Vučević said, adding that artificially created divisions are in the years behind us, whereas ahead of us lies a new chapter in the relations between the two countries.

The population census in Montenegro is the country’s internal matter, but it is important to note that Serbs have preserved their national identity, he said, adding that he is proud of the Serbian people in Montenegro.

The Prime Minister emphasised that Serbia will always insist on respecting the rights of the Serbian people in accordance with European standards, just as it does in its communication with other countries.

Vučević expressed the hope that he will soon have an opportunity to see a Montenegrin ambassador in Belgrade, which would enhance the quality of relations and cooperation.

The interlocutors agreed on the importance of major infrastructure projects, such as the completion of the highway and the reconstruction of the Belgrade-Bar railway, as well as maximising the full potential of the Port of Bar.

Mandić assessed that it is of great interest for Montenegro to have the best possible relations and cooperation with Serbia, emphasising that two such close states should establish collaborative models that benefit their citizens.
