"Montenegro's courage under Russian pressure inspires world"

He spoke during a gala dinner while proposing a toast to Montenegro's president and prime minister, and thanked the country for hosting Wednesday's US-Adriatic Charter Summit.

"Your courage, particularly in the phase of Russian pressure, inspires the world and I commend you for it. May our alliance prosper, may our friendship deepen, and may the people of Montenegro and America become even closer in independence and freedom. Cheers to the future!,” Pence said, according to the statement.

The US vice president said that he "brought greetings from President Donald Trump":

"He sent me here as a tangible sign of our commitment to Montenegro as the newest member of NATO."

“I had a privilege of being with the prime minister during his visit to the White House on the very day of Montenegro’s accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. I offered my congratulations to him then, and President and I offer you our congratulations again now. I am here to offer you our congratulations on your accession to NATO, but also our appreciation for the strong alliance that dates far behind your participation in the world’s most successful defense organization. America is honored to celebrate its relationship with the strong and free people of Montenegro. Let me assure you that I am here to testify to the fact that America has no small allies, only strong allies,” Pence said.

Montenegrin President Filip Vujanovic said it was "a great honor and privilege" to welcome the US vice president and his delegation.

"I highly value the traditional friendship between Montenegro and the US. I say with pride that Montenegro is a NATO member and that our ally is stronger than ever. President Trump said that we share the same values and we will never give up on them. By strengthening these values we will make or partnership even greater," said Vujanovic.
