At the very beginning of the meeting, Dr Orlic opined that Milatovic's visit, as well as the participation of the President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic in the inauguration of the President of Montenegro, represent the turning of a new leaf in the relations between the two countries, which the Serbian Parliament is ready to contribute to. "Our Parliamentary Friendship Group with Montenegro, in the spirit of strengthening cooperation and improving relations, is traditionally among the largest and popular ones in the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia," said Dr Orlic. The meeting with the President of Montenegro was also attended by National Assembly Deputy Speaker Sandra, Bozic as well as the Head of the PFG with Montenegro Igor Becic, who confirmed their willingness to personally contribute to the strengthening of relations between the two countries.

President Milatovic emphasised the importance of further infrastructural, investment and economic connection, pointing to all the successes that Serbia and Montenegro have been recording in these areas. He expressed a strong willingness to make sure that, based on their partnership, mutual understanding and respect, the two countries resolve the basic issues that affect the daily lives of their citizens, as well as to intensify cooperation in all areas of mutual benefit, which would in turn contribute to the revitalisation of good neighbourly relations.

Dr Orlic said that the Republic of Serbia, led by President Aleksandar Vucic, pursues at all levels a state policy dedicated to comprehensive development, as well as the preservation of peace and stability, as the fundamental prerequisites for any progress. "Unfortunately, peace and stability have been threatened in the most drastic way by Albin Kurti in Kosovo-Metohija. We must not and will not allow one man to cause catastrophic damage, not only to Serbia and the Serbian people in Kosovo-Metohija, but to everyone in the region. We continue to advocate for dialogue, a better future for everyone, but we expect everyone else to support peace and clearly condemn Kurti's anti-European and anti-civilizational behaviour," said the Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, adding that Serbia remains committed to the further development of economic cooperation with Montenegro, achieving new records in the trade exchange, as well as continuation of joint work on new investments and infrastructure – construction of new highways, power lines, gas infrastructure, modernisation of the railway.

President Milatovic thanked Dr Orlic for the opportunity for an open conversation, expressing his understanding for the positions of the Republic of Serbia and his support for the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina. He stressed that one of the goals of the Montenegrin state policy is the strengthening of bilateral ties with the countries in the region. "We clearly share a common future, which is why we remain persistent on the path of improving relations between our two countries, which are, both economically and geographically, at the centre of the Western Balkans," concluded Milatovic.
