It is stated in the report that, with regard to implementation of commitments from the Stabilisation and Association Agreement, the representatives of the European Commission pointed out the measurable progress of Montenegro in the area of harmonisation of legislation with the EU regulations, thus encouraging further efforts of Montenegro to continue with started reforms and implementation of adopted legislation.
