Montenegro adopts key document for EU bid
17.04.2008
The Montenegrin government adopted a crucial document related to the country’s effort to join the European Union. The National Programme for EU integration (NPI) detailing Montenegro’s strategy over the next five years deals mainly with harmonsing the legal and judicial system with EU requirements. It also covers social, economic and other reforms.
Deputy Prime Minister Gordana Djurovic described the NPI as “a key document for the country’s EU bid but also the basis of the government’s future annual plans," Podgorica daily Vijesti reported. Djurovic said the document offered "transparent information on upcoming reforms.” The NPI has six chapters and is a result of joint work by local and EU international experts.
