Producing fears in Montenegro in co-operation with Americans, agreement is signed by Nick Gilosaj

Montenegro's government aims to enter into co-operation with an American company to launch pilot-free aircraft production (dron), and the first group produced will be donated to Ukraine. This information is released today by the Montenegrin media, referring to the <x0-letter of target” approved in Podgorica at the end of May.

As reported, the document reportedly will contribute to strengthening Montenegro's military capacities under the NATO alliance, assisting Ukraine in its defence needs, and strengthening Montenegro's international position as a reliable partner in the field of modern military equipment.

The planned agreement, worth $15m, is also supported by US administration headed by President Donald Trump. The letter of goals, which the Government of Montenegro approved on May 29th, is scheduled to be signed by Albanian Minister of Economic Development Nick Gilosaj and company director By Light Professional IT Services LLC, Robert J. Donahue.

This document presents a step towards the final contract, whose signing is scheduled for September.

American Support for the Initiative

The agreement also envisions the involvement of companies from Montenegro and the wider region in testing both air and underwater non-pilot systems. The government has expressed its readiness to offer Ukraine the first set of early models of accompanying military fears and equipment.

The US Embassy in Montenegro stated that the adoption of this agreement would further contribute to security, stability and joint development, and that Washington encourages all its partners to invest in the defence industry and co-operate with American companies.

“Montenegro thus shows its seriousness in meeting its NATO obligations, especially now that European allies are expected to take a greater burden on their security, including investing in American non-pilot air systems,” the embassy said.

For memory, Montenegro is a NATO member and is obliged, like other members, to share at least two percent of its GDP for the defence sector. However, the American Embassy stresses that American expectations are evidently higher. /Periscopi/
