Thanks to concrete results and renewed reform momentum, Montenegro is strongly positioned at the forefront of European enlargement policy. 🇲🇪🇪🇺

In this context, at the invitation of the European Parliament’s rapporteur for Montenegro, @sarecmarjan, in the European Parliament in Brussels, I discussed the final stage of our accession process, the roadmap, and the next steps towards full membership in the European Union.

I am confident that together we can make Montenegro’s accession not only a national, but also a European success, and a strong confirmation that enlargement can make the EU stronger.

Thank you to Marjan Šarec for the invitation and the open exchange of views, as well as to @VSuperti, @alvfinn and Clive Rumbold for a substantive discussion on Montenegro’s next steps on its European path. 🇲🇪🇪🇺

Another step forward for Montenegro's 🇪🇺 path!

Today, we adopted a financial package for 🇲🇪's future EU accession, outlining a methodology to support its smooth integration into the EU budget while reinforcing a more resilient & prosperous Europe.

I am grateful to Montenegro and the Delegation for having made my last visit to the country very useful, for making progress in the accession negotiations

Productive visit to #Montenegro by @eu_enlargement_ Director for #WesternBalkans @VSuperti.
Focus on accession chapters and fundamentals — rule of law, economy & public administration. 🇲🇪🇪🇺

[Valentina Superti @VSuperti]

Montenegro is closer to the EU !

[Marta Kos @MartaKosEU]

Montenegro’s place inside the EU is now taking shape.

Today, Member States decided to start drafting Montenegro’s EU Accession Treaty.

This is a major step on the path to EU membership, a clear recognition of Montenegro’s progress, and an encouragement to accelerate reforms.

It also offers a chance to draw lessons from past enlargements and include new and stronger safeguards in future accession treaties to prevent backsliding on the rule of law and fundamental values.

Western Balkans closer than ever to the EU-roaming #connectingpeople

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

We have proposed to open negotiations to extend the EU’s 'Roam Like at Home' regime to the Western Balkan.

This would allow people travelling between the EU and Western Balkans to call, text and use mobile data without roaming surcharges.
