lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I thought that you, as a member of the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, would have deliberately stopped the clock so that we could talk some more. Montenegro is having to deal with some of these issues for the first time, but that is necessary and, certainly, welcome. It is the right time for this small and infinitely beautiful country, with a rich history and culture, to make a decisive step towards the united Europe. I would like to thank Mr Tannock, as rapporteur, for his excellent cooperation and, indeed, all the shadow rapporteurs for their cooperation. The good news for Montenegro and for us is that negotiations will finally begin in early June. There are sufficient reasons for us to believe that Montenegro is well prepared. There is also cohesiveness in Montenegrin society about membership of the European Union being an objective. The fact that Montenegro will be starting with one of the most difficult chapters, Chapter 23, is a positive one. Montenegro has successfully implemented a series of reforms which guarantee the fulfilment of conditions under the acquis. This is true for judicial reform and the creation of effective institutions for combating corruption, which has also attracted the attention of many members of this Parliament. It is worth emphasising the positive role of Montenegro in regional cooperation. I, too, as rapporteur, think that Montenegro’s agreement with Croatia to refer the unresolved issue of Prevlaka to the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague shows sound and sensible decision-making. We also welcome the steps of the Montenegrin Government aimed at ensuring modern and genuine freedom of expression, preventing attacks on journalists and promoting democratic tolerance, when it comes to minorities of all kinds in Montenegrin society."@en1
