UN General Assembly
2008

Montenegro fully supports United Nations efforts to resolve the problems caused by the energy crisis, especially rising food prices worldwide. We also fully support the intention of the Secretary-General and of the United Nations to focus the attention of the international community on vital issues such as food prices and food security, in addition to the issues of climate change and the MDGs. The reason behind this is obvious: everyone is affected and is hence committed to solving those problems. In the light of that, we agree with the proposed United Nations action in the multilateral framework. We commend the recent adoption of the Rome Declaration on World Food Security, and strongly believe that integrated international action is the best response. As an ecologically concerned State, Montenegro cherishes an interactive relationship between the environmental aspects of the protection of natural resources, on the one hand, and the production and distribution of organic food on the other hand. Furthermore, Montenegro encourages the creation of an international trade environment that favours small- scale producers and developing countries. Public-
