Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has held a meeting with his counterpart from Montenegro, Milojko Spajzic, within the Berlin Process Summit held on 22 October in St. Stefan.

Kurti has announced that the meeting with Spajiqi was the last in the context of the summit, while thanking the Montenegrin prime minister for the hospitality and chairmanship of the Berlin Process this year.

I thanked him for the hospitality and leadership of the Process this year, and commended him for the sure steps his country is taking towards the EU, Kurti has declared.

He has stressed the good relations between Kosovo and Montenegro, praising that both countries share commitment to democratic development and European integration.

Kosovo and Montenegro are good neighbours and share the momentum of democratic progress, as international estimates often show, Kurti has said.

The prime minister has stressed that Montenegro is closer to membership in the European Union, while Kosovo is interested in taking advantage of its experience in the process.

Montenegro is closer to EU membership and is interested in learning from its experience, while Kosovo awaits candidate country status and opening negotiations for membership, it has indicated.

In addition to European integration, bilateral co-operation possibilities have been discussed at the meeting, with particular emphasis on improving infrastructure links between the two countries.

Kurti has announced that one of the main topics of discussion was the best liaison of Kosovo and Montenegro through land infrastructure.
