Every time I come to Montenegro I can feel the heart of Europe beating.

You are not only committed to your 🇪🇺 future.

You are passionate about it.

It shows.

Because you are a frontrunner in the accession process.

Montenegro can reach its EU ambitions if it stays focused on the goal, and united.

It's been 5 weeks and @deutschebahn.com is still trying to locate the 58 Euros in their own bank account. For the love of God, EU people shouldn't worry about China's rise or American hegemony. Just accept the reality and move on!
