The President of Montenegro announced plans to visit Azerbaijan

President of Montenegro Jakov Milatović stated that his visit to Azerbaijan is on the agenda and the parties are working on its organization.

As reported by BAKU.WS, he said this in response to a question from a Report correspondent in Dublin, before the start of the European Political Community (EPC) summit.

"Right now our teams - my administration and the administration of the President of Azerbaijan - are discussing this matter. We are currently agreeing on a date for the visit. I think I can come to the Baku Global Forum. We are just trying to coordinate schedules to combine the visit with this event," he noted.

Regarding the introduction of a visa regime for citizens of Azerbaijan, the President of Montenegro explained that this decision is related to the country's process of accession to the European Union. According to him, Montenegro has fully aligned its visa policy with EU requirements, fulfilling the corresponding obligations.

Milatović expressed hope that the accession treaty could be signed in the first half of next year. He noted that much will depend on the timing of elections, but considers such a scenario quite likely.

"This will be a huge step forward for us," the president emphasized.

Speaking about tourism cooperation with Azerbaijan, Milatović noted that Montenegro remains an attractive destination for foreign guests, including those from Azerbaijan. He emphasized the importance of tourism for the country's economy and invited Azerbaijani tourists to visit Montenegro.

The President of Montenegro also positively assessed the upcoming European Political Community summit, which will be held in Azerbaijan in 2028, stating that he looks forward to this event.
