Montenegro's EU Aspirations: 2028 by 2028

Montenegro marks twenty years of independence, aiming for EU membership by 2028, as seen in the twenty-eight by twenty-eight slogan. The path to independence was marked by a referendum in 2006, with 55.5% voting to leave Serbia, leading to NATO membership in 2017. President Jakov Milatovic acknowledges progress but highlights missed opportunities in democratic reforms and corruption fight. Public support for EU is high, but significant challenges remain in completing necessary reforms. Officials are working on an accession treaty, with European leaders expected to reaffirm commitment at an upcoming meeting. However, the timeline depends on Montenegros ability to accelerate reforms. Despite celebrations, citizens focus on tangible improvements, with concerns about economy and living standards. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
