On May 9th, we celebrate unity, solidarity, and the values that connect young people across Europe.

Europe is not only a space of opportunities, but also a community built on freedom, democracy, equality, and mutual respect.

Today, young people in Podgorica have the opportunity to use their ideas, energy, and activism to build a more open, fair, and modern society.

The title of European Youth Capital 2028 is a confirmation that Podgorica recognizes the importance of youth policies, youth participation, and creating spaces where young people can learn, create, and make their community better.

Through this important title, Podgorica sends a message that it believes in young people, their potential, and the European future of Montenegro.

For young people, European values mean more opportunities for education, travel, exchange of experiences, volunteering, culture, and the creation of new ideas that connect people and communities.

Let Europe Day be a reminder that young people are the ones who drive change, strengthen democracy, and build a society of equal opportunities for all.
