"Montenegro could join EU in next few years" 19 December 2007 | 15:20 | Source: Beta PODGORICA -- Doris Pack feels that Montenegro has the potential to join the EU within the next few years.
The president of the European Parliament’s Committee for Relations with South-East Europe believes it is possible provided the country works hard to remove factors that tarnish its image.
“Words, commitments and promises need to be put into practice, reform of the justice system and public administration needs to be carried out. The quicker, the better,“ says Pack.
Stating that Montenegro is not just a corrupt country, and a paradise for organized crime, smuggling and money laundering, Podgorica’s Vijesti reports that Pack, in an article, said she wished to convey to her parliamentary colleagues in Podgorica a message of encouragement and support.
“I hope they will heed my words: be serious in applying political criteria, be more transparent in economic development, preserve the magnificence of your country from wild over-development and mass speculation, find concrete measures to protect your unique character,“ says Pack.
Last week, the European Parliament ratified the Stabilization and Association Agreement with Montenegro, and in a special resolution, highlighted the main problems of corruption and organized crime, and reform of the judiciary and public administration.
