Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon says the US is worried about "Russia's meddling in the Euro-Atlantic aspirations of the Western Balkans."

"Russia seeks to derail Euro-Atlantic perspective of the countries such as North Macedonia and Montenegro through the aggressive approach and deterrence," Pahon told Podgorica-based daily Pobjeda.
He added that the US "see North Macedonia and Montenegro are willing to choose freedom and success and everything that the West can offer."

Political analyst Ramush Tahiri told the daily Pobjeda, based in Podgorica, that this convening of the Kosovo parliament will hardly be able to vote out on a demarcation agreement with Montenegro, and he believes that new extraordinary parliamentary elections await Pristina in the spring, reports the Belgrade daily Blic.
