Montenegro is soaring toward a brighter future in 2025, making remarkable strides on its path to European Union membership while offering breathtaking paragliding experiences over its stunning landscapes.
This year, Montenegro marked a significant milestone by joining the EU’s LIFE programme for environment and climate action, making it the fifth non-EU country to participate. This membership facilitates access to vital funding and strengthens cooperation on environmental and climate-related initiatives, accelerating Montenegro’s efforts to align with EU standards.
Montenegro’s Accelerated EU Integration Progress
In November 2025, Montenegrin Prime Minister Milojko Spajić expressed confidence in Brussels about completing the vetting process for EU accession. The country plans to close all negotiation chapters by the end of 2026, aiming for full membership by 2028. Montenegro already operates with many EU-like practices and continues reforms to bolster credibility in the enlargement process.
Additionally, Montenegro has enhanced its financial integration by joining the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) in October 2025, harmonizing its payment systems with EU standards. Starting in 2026, free mobile roaming between Montenegro and EU member countries will also be implemented, further tightening economic and social connections.
