Cindy McCain also joined the Congressional Delegation.  A noted humanitarian and philanthropist herself, Mrs. McCain’s late husband, Senator John McCain, will long be remembered for his support for the Euro-Atlantic integration of the Balkans.

At the start of the visit, the delegation met with President Milo Đukanović.

The Congressional Delegation continued their visit by meeting the Speaker of Parliament, Ivan Brajovic.

The delegation also called on Prime Minister Duško Marković.
