Parliament for NATO

On the eve of the Montenegrin parliament voted for a resolution on supporting integration into NATO.

79 deputies participated in the voting: 26 voted against, 3 abstained, 50 supported Montenegro's course in NATO.

Among those who voted "for" : the Democratic Socialist Party of the Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic, the Social Democratic Party, the Positive Montenegro Party, the Ethnic Minorities Party, the Bosniak Party, and Dritan Abazovich from among independent deputies.

Abstained: deputies Nebojsa Medojević, Koça Pavlovich and Branka Boshniak (Democratic Front).

In turn, representatives of a number of opposition parties and independent deputies believe that a referendum is required to resolve the issue of integrating Montenegro into NATO.

Following the vote, a resolution was adopted which states that the North Atlantic Alliance will "guarantee the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Montenegro, further strengthening the rule of law and democracy, human rights and national minorities and the quality of life for every citizen and the whole society ... Montenegro, thereby becoming an ally of the world's major powers and a partner in making important decisions that affect not only her but also regional and global security. "

In addition, the document emphasizes that the country's entry into NATO will be an additional argument for speeding up the successful completion of negotiations on full membership in the EU.

In the closing speech, Vice Speaker Milyutin Simovich noted that the resolution would be an important message for both the residents of Montenegro and the international community: "The Parliament strongly supports integration into NATO."

Recall, on September 14 in a telephone conversation with the Prime Minister of Montenegro Milo Djukanovic, US Vice-President Joe Biden confirmed that the United States is ready to support Montenegro's entry into NATO in December 2015.
