Igor Luksic Quotations

I appreciate cooperation with Turkey on many issues. We are grateful for the support we receive for E.U. and NATO integration for Montenegro.

I think that the tying of the Montenegrin economy with the euro is a much better option than the adventure of printing our own currency.

It's definitely the development that has changed the way Montenegro is seen in the eyes of the world.

Montenegro belongs to a rare number of countries that have managed to make progress on every internationally recognisable indicator.

That is one of the reasons why we advocate for good relations between the two countries. Turkey understands the needs of the region.

We are determined to improve the economic environment by getting foreign investors in and by cutting red tape.

All of us, the government, parliament, local authorities and the society must demonstrate determination and readiness to use knowledge and capabilities... toward full European integration.

On the one hand, Porto Monenegro is shape-shifting - it replaced a naval shipyard with a new marina - but it's also mind-shifting, opening up an array of other small business opportunities. And this shape-shifting and mind-shifting, it is exactly what we're trying to do in Montenegro.

Though many people said there is no joint border between Turkey and Montenegro, it feels like we are next to each other. We are in the same neighborhood.

Through the 'It's About Ability' campaign and with parents and other members of society, we have created a social family for children with disabilities.

Regardless of our ambitions to become part of the E.U., we have to keep in mind that Turkey is also a very strong voice that can represent the needs of our region in wider terms in global platforms.
