Montenegro is set to join the EU within the next few weeks (AP)

The European Commission has announced that accession negotiations with Montenegro could realistically be completed by the end of 2026.

If negotiations conclude on schedule, an accession treaty could be signed by June 2027, enabling Montenegro to potentially join the EU as its 28th member state in 2028.

Montenegro is currently regarded by the EU as the candidate country closest to achieving full membership, ahead of other frontrunners including Albania, Ukraine, and Moldova.

Montenegrin President Jakov Milatovic previously expressed confidence that the country remains on track to fulfil its ambitious target.

The report also noted that Albania aims to complete its own EU accession negotiations by the end of 2027, provided key political reforms continue.
