Montenegro's political landscape is experiencing significant shifts following a government reshuffle on July 23, 2024. Led by Prime Minister Milojko Spajić, the updated coalition now includes stronger pro-Serb and pro-Russian influences, raising questions about the country's path toward EU accession and NATO commitments. Recently approved, the 2026 state budget emphasizes growth and investment with an increased deficit, sparking debates amid opposition critiques.
As 2025 draws to a close, Montenegro marks significant progress on its path toward European Union integration while the sports scene presents a mix of achievements and challenges. Politically, the country closed five additional EU accession negotiation chapters in Brussels, doubling its pledged progress for the year. Parliament ratified a key law unlocking the EU Growth Plan funding, setting the stage for economic advancement with a predicted 3.2% GDP growth in 2026. Montenegro’s green agenda is gaining momentum, highlighted by a proposed 90 MW solar project and new laws aligning sectors like gambling with EU standards. Social initiatives such as the OSCE workshop on disability discrimination underline continued human rights efforts amid ongoing political tensions and governance challenges.
Montenegro ends 2025 with significant political progress, closing five more EU negotiation chapters, now totaling 12 out of 33, edging closer to European Union membership. Despite this milestone, challenges remain, especially in rule of law reforms and political stability amidst coalition tensions. The government is under pressure to accelerate reforms amidst skepticism, while Washington monitors the influence of pro-Russian parties on Montenegro’s Euro-Atlantic trajectory. On the economic front, a €175 million EU investment boosts infrastructure with railway, motorway, and bridge projects enhancing connectivity and growth.
Montenegro marked a pivotal moment in late 2025 by closing five crucial chapters in its EU accession talks, reinforcing the country’s trajectory toward future membership. Prime Minister Milojko Spajić hailed these developments as a turning point, signaling Montenegro’s near-future EU status, while Minister Maida Gorčević highlighted that 2026 will be decisive for finalizing remaining negotiations and political stability. Economically, the government’s reforms, including new fiscal laws and ratification of global tax standards, aim to align Montenegro with international frameworks, even as growth moderates and external imbalances such as a rising trade deficit pose challenges. Meanwhile, Montenegro's sports scene showed both resilience and reflection, with a tough basketball loss to Germany and the women's handball team completing their world championship campaign.
