> Russian Ambassador to Montenegro Alexander Lukashik told TASS that dialogue between Moscow and Podgorica is frozen. He said Montenegro’s pro-Western foreign policy, NATO membership and determination to keep pace with EU bureaucracy have nearly halted bilateral dialogue. Occasional contacts continue to address urgent practical matters, including through law enforcement agencies.
