In the race for EU membership, Montenegro surpasses Albania

The European Union's Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, in a post on the social network X, announced that Montenegro is very close to membership in the European Union.

In the post, Kos emphasized that Member States have decided to begin drafting the Treaty of Accession of Montenegro to the EU, a process that she said is accelerating reforms.

“Montenegro's place within the EU is now taking shape. Today, Member States decided to start drafting the Treaty of Accession of Montenegro to the EU. 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 learn lessons from past enlargements and to include new and stronger safeguards in future accession treaties to prevent a backsliding on the rule of law and fundamental values," she wrote.
