OSCE Mission to Montenegro wishes citizens of Montenegro a very happy Independence Day
The OSCE Mission to Montenegro wishes to congratulate the citizens of Montenegro on the occasion of their Independence Day.
On 21 May 2006, Montenegro gained its independence in a peaceful and democratic process through a referendum. Today, 13 years later, Montenegro is recognized as a stable democracy actively promoting regional co-operation and good-neighbourly relations.
OSCE and Montenegro have forged a strong and very practice-oriented partnership, in particular on reforming the electoral system, building a free, resilient and professional media landscape, promoting security sector governance and reform, and strengthening regional youth co-operation in collaboration with the Regional Youth Cooperation Office (RYCO).
The Head of the OSCE Mission to Montenegro, Maryse Daviet, said: “Montenegro has made significant progress in consolidating peace and stability, and thanks to the close partnership with the government, institutions, civil society and other stakeholders, the OSCE is well positioned to continue to support Montenegro in meeting their long-term strategic goals in line with OSCE commitments and principles.”
