Montenegro and Ukraine to sign security agreement, Zelensky to visit Podgorica on May 15

(Patria) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will visit Montenegro on an official visit on May 15, where he will meet with President Jakov Milatović with whom he will sign a bilateral security agreement, within the broader framework of cooperation between Ukraine and NATO member states, the Podgorica portal Dan has learned.

The document, according to the Montenegrin portal, follows the model of security agreements that Ukraine has previously concluded with several Western countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy.

The aim of these agreements is to provide long-term support to Ukraine in the field of security and defense, through military aid, training, intelligence cooperation, and strengthening the resilience of the country facing Russian aggression.

"With this act, Montenegro will confirm its firm support for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine, and join the group of NATO members that have already undertaken obligations within the framework of the joint declaration from July 2023," the portal writes, as reported by Tanjug.

The details of the agreement are expected to be announced after the official signing in Podgorica.
