Former Montenegro president warns Europe's core values in danger of collapse

Former President of Montenegro Milo Đukanović has warned that the shifting global geopolitical landscape is causing the collapse of the core values upon which Euro-Atlantic civilisation built its leadership after the Second World War.

Đukanović, who served as President of Montenegro from 1998 to 2002 and again from 2018 to 2023, pointed out that "the world is now witnessing the collapse of European values", Caliber.Az reports via local media.
