AGP Executive Report
Last update: 20 minutes agoEU Accession: Montenegro has provisionally closed two more negotiating chapters, bringing the total to 23 of 33, with food safety among the latest areas completed. Podgorica aims to finish talks by the end of 2026, sign an accession treaty in 2027 and join the EU in 2028, though reforms and unanimous approval by member states remain hurdles. Membership Terms: Brussels is proposing a 15-year probation period for new members, with possible voting restrictions if they breach EU rules. Montenegro, the frontrunner, may have little room to negotiate those conditions. Trade: A World Bank report finds five Montenegrin importers for every exporter; 79% of the country’s firms engaged in international trade import exclusively, highlighting the challenge of growing exports.
