Congrats to Montenegro for such a high turnout, it is so strange considering countries that border it never have high turnouts.
**Talking The EU Talk**
On election night, the partly Western-educated Milatovic sought to reassure pro-EU Montenegrins and outsiders concerned that questions of national identity and affinities for neighboring Serbia and Belgrade’s ally Russia could hinder the country’s ongoing European integration.
Milatovic said he was a step closer to fulfilling his pledge that “I will be the one to bring the country into the EU.”
Can anyone please clarify the new guy’s position on EU integration and the invasion of Ukraine? I tried googling but couldn’t find reliable info in English.
Will Montenegro join before 2030?
2 steps back for Montenegro. Streets of Podgorica are flooded with Serbian flags right now.
