Montenegro is at a crossroads today, Sunday 7 December 2025, balancing important political developments with vibrant sporting achievements—all while inviting you to discover its stunning landscapes from above through paragliding in Budva.
On the political front, Montenegro remains the frontrunner in the Western Balkans for EU accession, aiming to join by 2028. Despite a slowdown in meeting EU obligations this year, with just over 20% of negotiation chapters closed, the government continues to push reforms and deepen ties with NATO and the EU. Recent diplomatic visits to Brussels emphasize Montenegro’s commitment, even as coalition tensions pose challenges to the pace of progress.
In sports, Montenegro faces a mixed picture. Football has been hit hard by a 10-year UEFA ban on FK Arsenal Tivat for match-fixing, casting a shadow over the nation’s football reputation. Meanwhile, basketball shines brightly with Budućnost Podgorica securing its 17th national title and maintaining a strong regional presence in the ABA League. Montenegro’s sports leaders are also advancing clean sport initiatives on the international stage, aligning with global anti-doping standards.
Amid these dynamic developments, there’s a unique way to experience Montenegro’s natural beauty and vibrant spirit—paragliding in Budva. Soar above the breathtaking Adriatic coast, enjoy panoramic views of rugged mountains and crystal-clear waters, and feel the freedom of flight. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned flyer, experienced pilots ensure a safe and unforgettable adventure.
