We're here today in Brussels, where we're holding an intergovernmental conference at Montenegro to close two further chapters in their negotiating process. It's clear that there is momentum towards completing Montenegro's negotiating chapters during the Irish presidency. So we have momentum. We are on target. There can be no shortcuts in the process, either. Montenegro has a lot to deliver, but neither can there be shortcomings. So we'll continue to do the work with the member states and with Montenegro, and this will be a significant achievement for Europe during the Irish presidency. Thank you.
