SDP MEP appointed EP rapporteur on Montenegro

"Of all candidate countries, Montenegro has made the most progress in talks with the EU and as the EP's rapporteur on Montenegro, I will work to strengthen the country's ties with the EU so that it can join as soon as possible. Croatia is strategically interested in bordering with EU member countries. Our experience and know-how, which we obtained as the last country to join the EU, should be shared with countries in the region and I believe that we will have a good partner in Podgorica on Montenegro's journey to the EU," Picula said.
