06 October 2018 - "The doors of the European Union are open for Montenegro," stated the President of European Parliament Antonio Tajani in an interview with the National Television of Montenegro.
Montenegro is the leader among countries wishing to join the European Union and that should happen in 7 years, Tajani also said. “We love Montenegro and we want to cooperate with it. Our doors are open for Montenegro.”
Despite challenges the EU has been recently facing (e.g. the next-year election, Brexit, migrant crisis and the enlargement policy), Tajani hopes that Montenegro will join the EU by 2025.
“We have 7 years more. Montenegro could become the full EU member state if only we worked hard. We also have to improve the stability of the European Union. Montenegro is a frontrunner for 2025 membership,” Tajani concluded.
The European Parliament President emphasizes that Montenegro plays a key role in the stability of the Western Balkans, which is also very important for the stability of the European Union.
