Big news for Montenegro's EU path! 🇪🇺 As of January 26, 2026, Montenegro has provisionally closed Chapter 32 on Financial Control — a key step showing trusted management of EU funds and alignment with EU financial rules. That’s 13 chapters closed out of 33, with all chapters opened. This signals Montenegro as the Western Balkans' front-runner for EU accession and highlights the EU’s strategic priority for enlargement.
Montenegro is pushing a huge reform agenda through 2026–27 with plans to adopt over 560 new laws and acts, aiming to close all accession chapters by the end of this year. However, delivering on implementation, especially in rule of law and financial control, is the real challenge ahead. The country is also set to host the 2026 EU–Western Balkans Summit, underscoring its regional importance and commitment to EU integration. Yet local protests by truck drivers over strict EU border rules remind us there’s still much to win for citizens awaiting full membership.
The EU sees Montenegro as a confidence-building case, blending Growth Plan investments, financial reforms, and partial single market integration, like SEPA, to prove enlargement credibility — even amid skeptics in some EU states. This portrays Montenegro as a “low-risk, high-impact” candidate whose progress helps restore faith in the enlargement process.
