Wang Yi courts Montenegro in bid for EU influence
Original: Diplomacy: Wang Yi seeks to gain influence in the EU in Montenegro
China's top diplomat Wang Yi is visiting Montenegro as part of an effort to expand Chinese influence inside the European Union's sphere, according to reports.

The visit is being closely watched amid broader competition over the region's political alignment.
