Eurasian Economic Summit.
Esteemed President,
Distinguished Parliamentarians,
I would like to avail myself of
this opportunity to share a
personal note with you. I have
been appointed as the Honorary
Consul General of Montenegro in
Istanbul by the Government of
the Republic of Montenegro which
is a newly established
independent European and Balkan
State. As the Honorary Consul
General of the Republic of
Montenegro, I would like to
present a motion for the
consideration of your high
authority, about the possibility
of extending an invitation to
the Republic of Montenegro to
become a member country of the
PABSEC which had been
represented in the PABSEC by the
Former State of Serbia and
Montenegro until a short period
of time.
I believe that the accession of
the Republic of Montenegro to
the PABSEC will bring a renewed
significant and valuable sense
of cooperation among the
membership of your august
assembly.
I would like to reiterate that I
submit this idea, to the
consideration of your high
authority; and, not as a formal
proposal.
Thank you for your attention.
