00:00:14.727 --> 00:00:17.996
Good afternoon. We're here today
in Brussels, where we're holding an

00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:22.639
intergovernmental conference at Montenegro
to close two further chapters in their

00:00:22.713 --> 00:00:28.216
negotiating process. It's clear that
there is momentum towards completing

00:00:28.315 --> 00:00:32.802
Montenegro's negotiating chapters
during the Irish presidency.

00:00:32.907 --> 00:00:38.480
So we have momentum. We are on target.
There can be no shortcuts in the process,

00:00:38.521 --> 00:00:43.089
either. Montenegro has a lot to deliver,
but neither can there be shortcomings.

00:00:43.167 --> 00:00:47.809
So we'll continue to do the work with the
member states and with Montenegro, and

00:00:47.856 --> 00:00:51.850
this will be a significant achievement
for Europe during the Irish presidency.

00:00:51.906 --> 00:00:53.106
Thank you.
