Description
This paper tends to analyze the progress of the accession process of Montenegro towards the NATO during the year of 2011. The most important changes in the area of foreign policy priorities affected internal events in terms of NATO integration. Since 2010, when the European Commission set seven conditions for starting negotiation talks, official Montenegrin political agenda became more EU-oriented, while less attention has being paid to NATO integration. The year behind us was especially marked by Montenegrin efforts to, first of all, present itself as a country progressing on the European integration path. Judging by the intensity of public campaign, issue of NATO membership was not in primary focus of Government during this year.
