We talked about regional circumstances and shared our opinions on what is a reality of the Western Balkans. President said that this first state visit of the President of Malta is a historic one and that it makes a significant contribution to the relations between Montenegro and Malta.

President of Malta George Abela stated that a state delegation of Malta and an institutional delegation are here today in Montenegro. He pointed out that Montenegro and Malta are two states which share similar characteristics – they are Mediterranean countries, they have almost identical history and we are committed to each other and to good mutual relations. “The Government of Malta is fully committed to help Montenegro on its way towards the European Union. Both I and my state believe that Western Balkans have their future in the EU. We offered specific help to train your employees who will come to Malta this year in order to help them understand which are the challenges the EU membership brings and what you will be asked for.”, said Abela and added that membership in the EU should depend upon the way the reforms are being implemented in each state that strives for the EU membership. I would like to promote bilateral relations between our two states, because, as President Vujanović said, there are numerous agreements, understandings and protocols which should be signed.

I sincerely hope that by the end of year Montenegro will become a candidate for the membership and that it will be a full member of the European Union in the near future.
