Deputies of the Parliament of Montenegro voted for the country's accession to NATO, Radio and Television of Montenegro reports.. 46 MPs voted for it and nobody voted against it..

It is noted that at the meeting there were only 46 parliamentarians out of 81, as the opposition boycotts the parliamentary sessions since October last year, when the country held parliamentary elections.

The current meeting was an exit meeting and was held in the building of the Assembly (legislative assembly) of the city of Cetinje, where the protest was held by the opposition, which is in favor of resolving the issue of Montenegro's accession to NATO in a referendum.

Earlier, Donald Trump signed a decree ratifying Montenegro's accession to NATO. Last month, the Senate supported the expansion of the alliance by a majority vote. Washington hopes that the accession of Montenegro will signal Russia that the US is opposed to Russian attempts to spread its influence in Europe.

Recall that US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called on the Senate to ratify the treaty on Montenegro's entry into NATO as soon as possible. Tillerson noted that the country's entry into the Alliance will strengthen democratic reforms, integration, security and stability in the Balkan region.

Earlier it was reported that the protocol of Montenegro's accession to NATO has already been ratified by parliaments of 24 of the 28 member countries of the Alliance.
