Exciting developments mark Montenegro’s journey toward EU membership as of January 2026. Montenegro leads the Western Balkans in accession talks, having opened all 33 negotiation chapters and provisionally closed 12—up from seven last year. Major milestones include closing chapters on public procurement, company law, free movement of capital, and agriculture. This rapid progress after years of stalled reforms reflects technical momentum and political commitment. The government aims to finish all technical work by the end of 2026 and hopes to join the EU by 2028, while the European Union acknowledges Montenegro's advances but stresses that rule-of-law reforms and political stability remain critical final challenges.
