  1. “We also fully support the intention of the Secretary-General and of the United Nations to focus the attention of the international community on vital issues such as food prices and food security, in addition to the issues of climate change and the MDGs. The reason behind this is obvious: everyone is affected and is hence committed to solving those problems. In the light of that, we agree with the proposed United Nations action in the multilateral framework. We commend the recent adoption of the Rome Declaration on World Food Security, and strongly believe that integrated international action is the best response.”

  2. “Countries in transition, such as our own, have relevant experience and are strongly motivated to offer continuous support to the implementation of the Monterrey Consensus, in the light of the forthcoming International Conference on Financing for Development, to be held in Doha. Economic challenges faced by countries in transition affect the dynamics and quality of the way we tackle other issues, thus making the implementation of the Millennium Declaration imperative. Therefore, the development needs and priorities of the African countries, discussed at length during the 22 September high-level meeting, require urgent global solidarity and support. Montenegro fully supports United Nations efforts to resolve the problems caused by the energy crisis, especially rising food prices worldwide.”

  3. “Aware of all the challenges in implementing that agenda, Montenegro shares the Secretary-General’s opinion that yesterday’s high-level event contributed positively to the increased commitment to realize the goals that have been set. Challenges that we are facing today, including political problems, hotspots, blatant violations of human rights and freedoms, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, environmental degradation and climate change, require an adequate response and decisive action. We believe that no effective or lasting response is possible without joint action by the entire international community.”

  4. “This year we mark the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration is still vital and applicable. We are fully dedicated to its implementation and determined to uphold its values and principles. In support of that, Montenegro has presented its candidature for membership of the Human Rights Council for the period 2012-2015. As the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals represents one of the key objectives of United Nations policy, it is only natural that small and developing States, such as Montenegro, should be resolved to make a concerted effort towards those goals.”

  5. “08-52272 2 The Security Council lies at the heart of the overall reform process and needs to be transformed taking into account equitable regional representation, transparency and improvement in its working methods. Montenegro supports intergovernmental negotiations. We are undoubtedly faced with a very challenging and complex process, but one to which Montenegro will strive to contribute. Respect for human rights and freedoms, improvement of minority and faith-based rights and the strengthening of good-neighbourly relations will continue to be the foundation of our national stability, as well of regional stability. Our engagement at national, regional and international levels is therefore focused on the rule of law and the fight against corruption and organized crime.”

  6. “That is why the United Nations provides a reliable framework for maintaining international peace and security, strengthening democracy, protecting human rights and freedoms, respecting international law and fostering the economic and social development of all States. Today, the world Organization is going through a process of necessary reform prompted by great achievements, but also by some setbacks, and even failures. Montenegro supports a process of pragmatic reform at the United Nations. As a small State, we are particularly interested in strengthening the authority of the General Assembly and other main United Nations bodies.”

  7. “(spoke in Montenegrin; interpretation provided by the delegation) As the youngest United Nations Member, Montenegro has left its mark on the international scene. It gained its statehood centuries ago and democratically restored it in 2006. For us, statehood represents political freedom, but also political responsibility. Both are qualities that we look for and find in the United Nations: in the spirit of its Charter, and in the promotion of mutual respect and equality among nations and peoples. Multilateralism lies at the core of the international system and inspires strong motivation and commitment.”

  8. “It is my honour and pleasure to welcome the election of Mr. Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann as President of the General Assembly at its sixty-third session. I wish him great success in carrying out that complex, responsible and challenging task. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude and great respect to Mr. Srgjan Kerim, President at the sixty-second session, for successfully leading the Assembly during his tenure. In addition, I would like to pay tribute to the Secretary- General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, and to emphasize our full support for his efforts to strengthen the position of the United Nations as a valuable factor in resolving the issues on the ever-expanding international agenda. Now, if the Assembly will permit me, I should like to continue in my native language.”
