It goes without saying that Montenegro is the next closest. It has, as I mentioned earlier, opened up all of those chapters and closed some of them already, which is really encouraging. The fact that the President of the European Council is in town this week and is joining the leaders of the Balkans in a summit is a really strong signal that the European Union is committed to the accession path and bringing on board Balkan countries. It's really encouraging.
Certain countries in the region still have far to go and need to resolve some of the disagreements among themselves as well as the security situations before they can become EU members, but Canada is playing an important role through some of the programming that I spoke about earlier, contributing to democracy, human rights and the rule of law. These are all important facets of accession. Overall, we're optimistic.
