Prime Minister of Montenegro Milo Đukanović started his official visit to Brussels by meeting with the European Commission’s President Jean-Claude Juncker.
During his first meeting with Prime Minister Đukanović ever since he took over the Commission’s reins, President Juncker noted that the European Commission is impressed by the track record Montenegro has developed on its European path, particularly referring to the country’s economic progress and stability of public finance.
