    Source excerpt

    Prime Minister, Dear Milojko, Thank you for welcoming me to Podgorica. Tomorrow morning, we will inaugurate the new National Coordination Centre. And I am looking forward to it. Because it is truly a milestone towards your EU future. This centre gives your border police the means to monitor, exchange information, and coordinate with agencies in the EU. In other words: we are preparing for Montenegro's borders to become European Union borders. This means not only safer borders for Montenegro. But also greater security for Europe as a whole. My first message is this: we believe in Montenegro '28 by 28'. And we will support you all the way. This is why I came to Montenegro already three times this past year. Not only to show my personal support but also to commend Montenegro for the impressive work you have been doing. Montenegro has now provisionally closed more than half of all...

    On closing EU negotiating chapters with Montenegro.
