Montenegro is making strong strides toward joining the European Union, having opened all 33 negotiating chapters and provisionally closed 12 as of January 2026. The latest progress includes the provisional closure of five key chapters in December 2025, advancing the country closer to its goal of EU membership by 2028 under Prime Minister Milojko Spajić’s leadership.
This progress places Montenegro ahead of other Western Balkans candidates in its EU accession talks. The government aims to complete reforms and close all chapters by the end of 2026, making the “28 by 28” ambition a realistic political objective. EU institutions stress the importance of sustained rule-of-law reforms, political stability, and alignment with EU policies, especially as the Western Balkans gain renewed strategic significance following geopolitical tensions in Europe.
Despite challenges such as judicial independence and public administration reform, Montenegro is seen as a frontrunner and a “significant step forward” in the enlargement process. While the formal accession date remains a political goal rather than a commitment, Montenegro's momentum is clear, reflecting both internal dedication and external support.
