Montenegro one of the safest Mediterranean countries

Montenegro one of the safest Mediterranean countries

Montenegro is one of the safest countries in the Mediterranean, Prime Minister Dusko Markovic said. Today he opened the Global Citizen Forum at Sveti Stefan.

In his welcoming speech, Markovic reminded that Montenegro has determined the future in belonging to the most powerful security, economic and democratic communities, such as NATO and the European Union (EU).

He also assessed that Montenegro was one of the “safest countries in the Mediterranean”.

“We are capable to preserve and improve our security as a NATO member,” Markovic said.

The Prime Minister said that technology and economic globalization brought together the citizens of the world, but also brought the danger of moving the elite away from their compatriots.

“I believe that a citizen of the world must bear the responsibilities that we have at the local and national level. In that context, national governments have specific position, being obliged to, having primary obligation to represent, protect and promote national interests. I understand the fear of citizens of the world caused by the possible consequences of each government following only and exclusively its national interest. And it is really not unfounded when it comes to some global, or wider regional themes, such as climate change, fight against global warming, or major migrations, “said Markovic.

The Prime Minister added, that he advocates the balance between the vision of cosmopolitanism and the higher goals promoted by the global citizens, on the one hand, and the obligations and duties  towards their compatriots, towards their countries, on the other.

The Prime minister said that Montenegro was building an open society so that its citizens, who so feel, could be citizens of the world and so that every citizen of the world who comes to Montenegro feels comfortable, whoever he was – just a tourist, a potential investor, or a participant of a high-level forum such as the one he was just speaking at.
