European Council President Antonio Costa on Wednesday praised Montenegro for its progress on the path toward membership in the European Union, describing the small Balkan country as “one of the finest examples of the EU’s positive enlargement momentum.”
Costa spoke after meeting Montenegro's President Jakov Milatovic in the capital Podgorica. The European Council president was in the country as part of a tour of all six Western Balkan countries aspiring to join the 27-nation bloc.
