1. “The harmful consequences of climate change, increasing energy consumption and growing dependence on imported fossil fuels, along with their negative impacts on the environment and standards of living, are issues causing profound concern among us all. The Summit on Climate Change held on the eve of the general debate is, in our view, a significant step forward in Member States’ political support for the process of the implementation of the MDGs in this field. We believe that both the character and the effects of climate change call for a comprehensive international response based on the principles of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which would facilitate sustainable economic development of society in accordance with the guidelines of the 2007 Bali Action Plan.”

2. “Given that the recovery is going to be long and gradual, all countries, led by the United Nations, should be committed to the implementation of policies and measures initiated in the various international forums, including the United Nations Conference on the world economic and financial crisis and its impact on development, the G-20, World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Bearing in mind the nature of the Montenegrin economy as a small and open system, we have not been able to remain immune to the turbulent global developments. In that regard, the Government of Montenegro has adopted a package of economic policy measures aimed at maintaining macroeconomic stability, improving productivity and preserving a favourable economic environment.”

3. “Taking into consideration the strong impact of the world economic and financial crisis on overall socio- economic development, the most recent reports from the global financial markets are encouraging, indicating an end to the global crisis even earlier than expected. However, in order to ensure sustained economic development, increased aid and implementation of trade agreements and the achievement of international solidarity is imperative in addressing the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable.”

4. “09-52470 34 Strong cooperation with neighbouring countries and regional stability are the underlying principles of the foreign policy of Montenegro and a precondition for progress in its broader integration processes. Since the previous General Assembly session, we have moved to a new and more demanding phase of European and Euro-Atlantic integration. We feel particularly encouraged by the dynamic progress Montenegro has made towards membership in the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). We expect that in the near future the European Commission will issue an opinion on Montenegro’s preparedness for EU membership, and we also expect an invitation to join in the NATO Membership Action Plan, which will open additional opportunities for those two integration processes to gain momentum.”

5. “Montenegro, as a country that advocates the equality of peoples and nations in international relations, is fully committed to active participation in efforts to work out a global response to present-day challenges. Preserving peace and security through activities aimed at creating positive political, economic, social and cultural environments for the implementation and respect of international law, the rule of law and the protection and promotion of fundamental human rights and freedoms are the main principles and bases of the Montenegrin foreign policy priorities. In that regard, Montenegro remains strongly committed to the fundamental principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter, which imply peaceful resolution of disputes and non-interference in the internal affairs of States.”

6. “As we have heard from the statements of previous distinguished speakers, given the impact of the world economic and financial crisis and related food and energy crises, climate change and the flu pandemic on the economic and social growth and development, politics and global relations, including achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other internationally agreed development goals, only a coordinated and a concerted global effort can yield positive results. Response to current challenges requires, therefore, that we pool all capacities and resources, as well as a strong political will from us all. In this, the key role belongs to the United Nations, the world’s most important multilateral forum.”

7. “At the outset, please allow me to congratulate Mr. Ali Abdussalam Treki on his election as President of the United Nations General Assembly at its sixty-fourth session. We wish him success in his work and assure him of Montenegro’s unwavering support. I would also like to thank the former President, Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann, for his endeavours and personal contribution in discharging this challenging post. At the same time I would like to pay my tribute to the Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, for his outstanding efforts in leading the Organization in these trying times.”
