Montenegro is making significant strides on its journey to join the European Union, having opened all 33 accession chapters and provisionally closed 12 by the end of 2025. As Prime Minister Milojko Spajić and President Jakov Milatović aim to complete negotiations by 2026, the European Council welcomes Montenegro as a front-runner among Western Balkans candidates. This political momentum parallels Montenegro's natural allure, offering breathtaking Paragliding experiences above the Adriatic coast, especially near Budva.
At the 24th Accession Conference held in December 2025, Montenegro provisionally closed chapters critical for its EU integration, such as company law, agriculture, and fisheries. Despite this progress, core reforms remain focused on strengthening the rule of law, judicial independence, and fighting corruption to meet EU standards fully. The country also deepens its integration by participating in EU programs like LIFE for environmental action and aims for formal Eurozone membership by 2028, reflecting growing economic and policy alignment.
Geopolitically, Montenegro stands out as a stable NATO member and a less controversial EU enlargement candidate, with leaders emphasizing its role as a strategic security investment in the region. Recent policy decisions, such as reintroducing visa-free travel for Turkish citizens under EU security guidelines, underscore its commitment to meeting key EU requirements. However, full membership will depend on consensus within the 27 EU member states and the capacity for enlargement.
While political negotiations continue, Montenegro invites adventurers and nature lovers to experience its stunning landscapes from a unique perspective — the sky.
