At the Berlin Process Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Pržno on 1 October 2026, His Majesty's Ambassador to Montenegro, Nerys Jones, set out the United Kingdom's priorities for the process, according to the UK government report of that date. She said the region's security and prosperity were inseparable from Europe's, and argued that a connected Euro-Atlantic outlook remains a driver of peace, stability and cooperation. She referred to the Hillsborough Castle Declaration on Good Neighbourly Relations, agreed at last year's meeting in Northern Ireland, and said its commitments matter most when tested.

On practical cooperation, Jones cited UK support for the Western Balkans Cyber Capacity Centre in Montenegro and work with regional partners against foreign information manipulation, as well as the Border Police Chiefs' Forum. She also pointed to reconciliation practices shared through the Northern Ireland initiative. She said the Berlin Process should be judged by what changes for citizens, welcoming this year's focus on economic growth, and said the UK's export credit agency had increased its risk appetite for the region and could support multinational coalitions.

Turning to a European future, Jones said young people need jobs and opportunities rather than warm words. She called violence and inequalities against women unacceptable and encouraged full implementation of relevant European conventions and directives.
