Montenegro today commemorated the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks, with the country's Prime Minister issuing a statement on the importance of remembering that tragic day. In his words, this is a day "so painful for the United States and for all countries that cherish and defend freedom."
The official stated that it is imperative to remember "the many, including Portuguese, who lost their lives on September 11," specifically referring to the Portuguese victims among those killed in the terrorist attack.
Montenegro's Prime Minister took the opportunity to highlight the importance of democracy and security values, values he considers fundamental to free societies and which were put to the test that day. The reference to countries that defend freedom demonstrates Montenegro's alignment with Western positions on terrorism.
This statement is part of the countless commemorations that take place annually around the world to honor the memory of the nearly three thousand victims of the attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and United Flight 93, which recently marked their 23rd anniversary.
