It was noted during the conversation that the renewed and independent Montenegro in the past ten years had truly recognised the treasure and advantages in our emigrants, both in the FR Germany and beyond, and turned to thinking up policies by which it wanted to refresh and strengthen ties of emigrants with the homeland, respecting the countries in which they live, wanting to contribute to development of those countries and their social progress through a more meaningful relation with its emigrants.
