Montenegro is making remarkable progress on its EU accession path, having recently provisionally closed Chapter 32 on Financial Control, a key milestone signaling the EU’s trust in its financial management. On 3 February 2026, the Montenegrin Parliament further accelerated EU integration by adopting 25 EU-related laws in extraordinary sessions. These developments highlight Montenegro’s transition from negotiation stagnation to active alignment, with a goal to close all chapters by the end of 2026 and potentially join the EU by 2028.
While political challenges and rule-of-law reforms remain critical, Montenegro is widely regarded as the frontrunner candidate in the Western Balkans. The country is also deeply engaged in green initiatives, launching a renewable energy association with EU and EBRD support, and continues to align closely with EU foreign policy. Despite some political shifts and external interference risks, the future looks promising for Montenegro both politically and economically.
