B40 President Erion Veliaj attended a meeting in Podgorica alongside representatives from numerous Montenegrin municipalities with aspirations to join the B40 Balkan Network. The gathering was dedicated to strengthening ties between municipalities and extending collaboration to prospective members, with a primary objective of bolstering mutual influence in advocating for European Union initiatives. Of particular concern is the expansion of lobbying, especially directed towards securing EU-funded projects, with a significant focus on addressing the needs of smaller municipalities that are in urgent need of additional assistance and resources.
