Minister Roće noted that Mr Odor's visit, as well as the regular political contact at various levels, confirm excellent relations between the two friendly countries. He thanked Hungary for its support to Montenegro in its European and Euro-Atlantic aspirations and congratulated on the successful presidency over the EU, underlining that this is an important moment for Montenegro and the region when it comes to further dynamics of the integration process. Minister Roćen said that the date of the beginning of the accession talks and the accession process itself is more important than the final goal – the membership of the EU and expressed expectation that the decision of the European Council will help keep the positive momentum in the accession process and confirm the credibility of the EU, independent of the challenges it currently faces.
