This week marks a historic moment for Montenegro as it advances significantly in its bid to join the European Union. After years of waiting and reforms, the country has secured a positive assessment on critical rule of law reforms, making it the frontrunner among Western Balkan nations. Alongside this political milestone, the season is perfect for paragliding enthusiasts eager to experience Montenegro’s stunning autumn skies.
Montenegro’s EU Accession Breakthrough
After a period of stagnation, Montenegro has unblocked its EU accession process by achieving favorable results in the Interim Benchmark Assessment Report (IBAR). During an Intergovernmental Conference in Brussels, EU officials confirmed that Montenegro has met the necessary standards for judiciary reforms and fundamental rights, known in the negotiation process as Chapters 23 and 24.
This achievement grants Montenegro the green light to begin provisionally closing other negotiation chapters. Notably, no other Western Balkan country has reached this stage yet, placing Montenegro in a unique leadership position within the region. Prime Minister Milojko Spajić praised this development as a massive success and expressed optimism that Montenegro could become the EU’s 28th member state as early as 2028, provided the country continues its reform momentum.
