""This is confirmation of a political decision of the member states that Montenegro will be a future member state. Once you decide to start work on drafting the accession treaty then there are no doubts any longer regarding the end result.""
""Montenegro has currently closed just 14 but hopes to finish the rest by the end of this year. Few in Brussels think this is possible given that some of the toughest issues, involving justice, home affairs, food safety, and competition policy remain to be solved.""
EU ambassadors approved a 90 billion-euro loan to Ukraine and new sanctions on Russia, while also establishing a working group for Montenegro's EU accession treaty. This decision symbolizes member states' commitment to Montenegro's future membership. Montenegro aims to join the EU by 2028, but has only closed 14 of the necessary 33 accession chapters. Significant challenges remain in areas like justice and competition policy, making the 2028 goal ambitious. The working group will become active once more chapters are closed.
