Montenegro and Croatia are showing a strong commitment to enhance bilateral relations across all areas of cooperation, particularly within the security sector, which is vital for both nations. This was emphasized by the Director of the National Security Agency, Ivica Janović, and the Ambassador of the Republic of Croatia to Montenegro, Veselko Grubišić, during a meeting earlier today.

In this context, the cooperation between the two countries is regarded as very positive, with both parties expressing a determination to significantly advance the shared goal of establishing a more secure region for all citizens through increased engagement in the near future.

Both sides concurred that Montenegro’s European aspirations are bolstered by meeting the requirements set forth in chapters 23 and 24, and that Croatia, as a neighboring country and an EU member, supports Montenegro’s ambition to join as the 28th member by 2028.
