The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vuçi., Invited the Prime Minister of Montenegro, Dritan Abazovi., To join a meeting of the regional initiative, “Open Balkans”, to be held in Ohrid, Northern Macedonia.
On May 25, Vucic met with Abazovic as the two leaders attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The forum in Davos, which started on May 22 and will last until May 26, is being held after a two-year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Another great opportunity to discuss bilateral issues with Dritan Abazovic during the World Economic Forum, but also to invite him once again to join us in the meeting of the ‘Open Balkans’ initiative in Ohrid,” Vucic said through a Instagram post.
Meanwhile, Abazovic said his country is making efforts to promote a policy of regional co-operation, reconciliation, coexistence and better economic cohesion in the Western Balkans.
“Relations with Serbia are a priority – we are ready for intensive cooperation in all areas of common interest,” Abazovic wrote on his Twitter account.
The “Open Balkans” initiative is a continuation of the Balkan “mini-Schengen”, presented in Novi Sad, Serbia on October 10, 2019, by the leaders of Serbia, Northern Macedonia and Albania.
When the “Open Balkans” initiative was introduced, then Montenegro with the Government of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), refused to participate in this regional initiative.
However, the new Prime Minister, Dritan Abazovic, supports the concept of this initiative. Abazovic expressed support for the initiative during an interview with Klan Kosova on May 11th.
Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina do not support this initiative.
Otherwise, while attending the Davos Forum, Abazovic also met with Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, and the two leaders discussed co-operation between the two countries and infrastructure projects aimed at establishing better ties between Pristina and official Podgorica.
