On January 27, 2022, Ambassador Reinke joined Minister of Defense Injac, Chief of Defense Djurovic, and Director General for NATO and Security Policy Vucinic for a tour of the U.S. Military Sealift Command Ship Carson City, which has been in the Port of Bar undergoing regular maintenance. This is the most comprehensive service conducted on a U.S. vessel in Montenegro and demonstrates Montenegro’s increasing capabilities as a NATO Ally.
The visit of the Carson City is the latest security cooperation activity between the United States and Montenegro. Annually, the two countries partner for dozens of security cooperation and capacity building events that take place across Europe and in the United States.
