PODGORICA, Montenegro

The Turkish president on Saturday arrived in Montenegro's capital Podgorica, the second stop on his mini-tour of two Western Balkan countries.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan will meet Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic in the city of Cetinje, the former royal capital of Montenegro.

Later, Erdogan is scheduled to meet with Montenegrin Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapic.

This is Erdogan's first-ever official visit to the small Balkan country.

During face-to-face meetings, bilateral relations will be reviewed and steps will be discussed for deepening cooperation.

Bosnia and Herzegovina was the first stop of Erdogan’s mini-western Balkans tour as he arrived in the capital Sarajevo on Friday.
