On Tuesday 16 April, the Committee on Foreign Affairs will discuss Montenegro's progress on EU-related reforms with Prime Minister Milojko Spajić. The meeting is organised in association with the Delegation to the EU-Montenegro Stabilisation and Association Parliamentary Committee. Montenegro applied for EU membership in 2008, and started accession negotiations in 2012. So far, 33 of 35 negotiation chapters have been opened.
Montenegro's path towards EU accession continues to be underpinned by unwavering support of its citizens. However, in recent years the process has stalled and no chapters have been closed since 2017. Montenegro's progress towards the provisional closure of other chapters, remains conditional upon the fulfilment of the rule of law interim benchmarks set under chapters 23 and 24.
