It is a pleasure for me to participate once again at Dubrovnik Summit. I would like to congratulate our Croatian friends for excellent organization of the meeting.

What is the future of South East Europe? The answer is – a European one. Regardless of the fact that the timeline of this endeavour is different for each country. For Croatia, it is practically tomorrow. I would like to congratulate my colleague Jandroković on the opening of the three final chapters in accession negotiations. We are very pleased when our neighbours are making progress. It is an additional impetus for us to work hard on fulfilling commitments before us in the more demanding phases of this process.

I would like to greet you on behalf of Montenegro. I would like to thank our host Croatia and Minister Jandroković for the excellent organization of the meeting. This is the first time Croatia chaired the Adriatic Charter as a member state of NATO. Albania also has this status. Isn't this the best recognition of our regional initiative whose members are making such tangible progress? In the meantime, Bosnia and Herzegovina was invited to join MAP. Serbia opened a Permanent Mission in Brussels and strengthened the cooperation with the Alliance within the PfP. A5 proved to be an indispensable model for all parties who have the strategic goal to join NATO, which is a formula for the permanent stability of the region. The role of US is also indispensable in the Adriatic Charter.
