    <p>Montenegrin President Jakov Milatović expressed the need for the European Union (EU) to clarify whether the Agreement between Montenegro and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) aligns with the Stabilization and Association Agreement. This statement came during his meeting with Kaja Kalas, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission (EC).</p>

    <p>The Public Relations Office of the President of Montenegro reported that Milatović welcomed Kalas, who is on an official visit to the country.</p>

    <p>"During a working lunch, both officials discussed Montenegro's current accession negotiations with the EU and the necessary steps towards achieving the country's goal of full EU membership by 2028," the release mentions.</p>

    <p>Milatović remarked that the visit by the EU High Representative is timely, given the pivotal moment for the region and its aspirations for European integration, emphasizing that advancing the enlargement policy for Western Balkan countries is crucial for demonstrating the EU's strength.</p>

    <p>"Montenegro is committed to doing everything possible to be ready for membership by 2028. We recognize this as an ambitious goal, but we are confident in achieving it alongside our European partners. We value the EU's dedication to upholding a merit-based approach. As the most advanced candidate for membership, we are eager to host the European Political Community Summit in the spring of next year. This event is particularly meaningful for Montenegro, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of our restored independence in May 2026," stated Milatović.</p>

    <p>The statement highlighted that Milatović emphasized the recently signed Agreement on Cooperation in Tourism and Real Estate Development between Montenegro and the UAE during their discussion.</p>

    <h2>Milatović: Security and Defense Partnership Agreement with the EU is vital for Montenegro</h2>

    <p>According to the Public Relations Office of the President of Montenegro, Milatović and Kalas also addressed the signing of a Security and Defense Partnership Agreement between Montenegro and the EU.</p>

    <p>"The signing of this agreement would confirm Montenegro's credible and strategically aligned European path, based on our shared values and geopolitical interests, while fully complying with the Common Foreign and Security Policy," explained Milatović.</p>

    <p>The statement noted that Kaja Kalas expressed her full support for Montenegro's ongoing efforts to strengthen ties with the EU during the meeting.</p>

    <p>Additionally, the President arranged for Kalas to visit the National Museum in Cetinje, marking her first visit to the Western Balkans since her arrival in Montenegro, as stated in the press release from the Public Relations Office of the President of Montenegro.</p>
