Montenegro's EU Integration: Constitutional Changes and Chapter Closures

Montenegro has closed three more negotiating chapters in its EU accession talks, bringing it closer to membership. The focus now shifts to the Montenegrin parliament, which is expected to pass constitutional changes introducing integrity checks for future government members. This is seen as a key condition for closing Chapter 23 on Judiciary and Fundamental Rights and completing negotiations by the end of the year. Political unity and compromise are crucial for this process, with both ruling and opposition parties sharing responsibility. Meanwhile, Montenegro's leaders emphasize the importance of European integration for the country's progress and the well-being of its citizens.
