Current government in Montenegro can’t count on EU’s endless patience

Tonino Picula

The European Parliament’s rapporteur for Montenegro, Tonino Picula, warns that the current government in Montenegro cannot count on the infinitely long patience of the European Union.

“The inconsistency, improvisation and frivolity of all forms of political institutions and persons will certainly not meet the approval in the ranks of the European Union”, Picula points out in an interview for Dnevne Novine.

According to him, political turbulences must be calmed down and excessive polarization must be reduced, because they are toxic for a society that can and should prosper.

He also says that the international community must follow the development of the situation in Montenegro even more carefully.

He also comments on the actions of the ruling structure from Serbia relating to the events in Montenegro and says that the policy of the state of Serbia does not contribute to a stable Montenegro.

“That is why the EU should pay more attention to the region and not reduce the enlargement policy to a declarative statement or allow it to serve as a tool for political blockades and blackmail”, Picula says.
