Montenegro is witnessing a dynamic year in 2025 with significant political reshuffles, sporting triumphs, and thrilling outdoor experiences. The government, led by Prime Minister Milojko Spajić, has broadened its base by incorporating pro-Serb and Bosniak parties into the cabinet, increasing parliamentary support to 53 seats. This expanded coalition reflects a diverse political landscape blending centrist, nationalist, and minority voices, with Bosniak Party leader Ervin Ibrahimović making history as the first Bosniak foreign minister. Despite opposition challenges from the Democratic Party of Socialists amid corruption investigations and parliamentary boycotts, the pro-EU government remains firmly committed to restarting EU accession talks. Infrastructure development in northern Montenegro faces setbacks with repeated tender cancellations, but green energy initiatives such as new battery storage systems aim to modernize the grid and support renewable energy growth.
Sports remain a source of national pride as Budućnost Podgorica clinched the 2024-25 Montenegrin First League title, securing a spot in the Champions League qualifiers, while Dečić and Sutjeska earned Europa Conference League slots. The men’s national football team continues its World Cup qualifying campaign, positioning Montenegro as a safe and attractive international host. At the 2025 World Games in Chengdu, Montenegro’s athletes brought home a bronze medal in ju-jitsu mixed duo, underscoring the strength of combat sports. Budva has also become a hotspot for mixed-martial-arts events, attracting global attention and reinforcing the country’s growing reputation as a prime destination for fight sports and training in the Adriatic region.
