Montenegro has achieved a significant milestone in its EU accession journey by provisionally closing Chapter 32 – Financial Control on 27 January 2026. This brings the total number of chapters closed to 13 out of 33, with all chapters now opened. This progress underlines the EU’s growing trust in Montenegro’s ability to manage funds transparently, marking a major step forward in the country’s path to membership, potentially by 2028.
The closure of the financial control chapter is not only a legal and technical achievement but also a powerful political signal. Montenegro is now widely regarded as a front-runner and a test case for renewal of EU enlargement in the Western Balkans, showcasing credibility and reform progress. The government aims to close all chapters by the end of 2026, maintaining momentum for full accession within the next few years.
