When I first came in 1996, this port was a rotting and abandoned casualty of the former Yugoslavia.
Now it is the home of Porto Montenegro, this week’s landmark @ESGAdria summit, and a long lunch with @TikvesWinery.
When things change, sometimes they really do get better.
Geneva: home to skiing and some of my favourite people in the world, and one of the great capitals of the multilateral system.
Here to discuss how the private sector helps achieve the UN goals to tackle the harmful use of alcohol.

Today was a real privilege: a chance to see an old friend and colleague in beautiful Edinburgh, in my new role.
The @ScotchWhiskySWA is a key partner in promoting moderation and supporting the UN goals for tackling harmful use of alcohol.

A big thank you to @Pernod_Ricard for a fantastic welcome in Paris today. Great to hear all the things they are doing in line with @IARDalliance’s standards, and about their innovative campaigns like Drink More Water and products such as Beefeater 0.0

In Paris today meeting Moët Hennessy, one of the leading wines and spirits companies.
Moët Hennessy pioneered its own code for responsible communication and marketing over 15 years ago, something that is now central to the standards expected of all IARD’s members.
Fantastic to meet the CEO of @abinbev Michel Doukeris and the team in NY in my first week. As the world’s largest brewer they are a leading member of @IARDalliance and a major player in promoting moderation through the AB InBev Foundation and innovative products like Corona Cero

Back where it all began, in Montenegro.
This is my last day as a British diplomat after 30 remarkable years. The journey has taken me from the former Yugoslavia to Downing Street, Washington, Brussels and Geneva.
It has been the privilege of a lifetime.
Shoulder to shoulder with our Ukrainian allies at today’s Budapest Process conference.
This process focuses on the migrant route into Europe via the Balkans: the main one for those who cross the Channel in boats
Small boats arrivals from Albania are down 90% in 2023.
But we won’t stop there.
Today I signed a statement with Albanian Interior Minister @taulantballa to protect our countries.
Two pictures that say one thing.
Amsterdam, my city for a day.
Home from home for the Beatles, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, Oasis, Blur, Pulp. And countless Brits.
Our approach at today’s conference on migrant smuggling:
1. We support the EU’s initiative
2. We can only succeed if we work together whole of route
3. We have cut small boats by a third this year and we thank our partners who made this possible linkedin.com/posts/activity…
The last time I was behind a UK nameplate at an EU meeting in Brussels was when I was a UK ambassador to the EU…
Here today to participate in the EU conference to create a global alliance to tackle migrant smuggling. The UK strongly supports this initiative. 🇬🇧 🇺🇳🇪🇺
DPM/FM #Dacic spoke with @ukhomeoffice Director General @JnbraithwaiteUK about 🇷🇸🇬🇧 bil coop, as well as further intensification of the political dialogue. Opinions on current foreign policy issues, including the area of combating irregular migration exchanged during the meeting.
Great to be in Belgrade again, to step up our common fight against people smuggling in the Balkans.
Here with our excellent new ambassador to Serbia @EAFergusonUK 🇬🇧🇷🇸
You have to speak Serbian and be familiar with the country’s fondness for conspiracy theories and sensational journalism to truly appreciate this. But a candidate for Best Ambassadorial Tweet of the year. Looking forward to seeing Ed and his team on Tuesday.
