Montenegro has made a big leap on its European path, but the road is anything but smooth! While the EU gives Bulgaria the green light to adopt the euro, Montenegro is wrestling with its own mess – from the complex position of judges to public procurement reforms finally aligned with EU standards. Jelena Jovetić, the top finance ministry official, proudly claims that tender processes are now efficient, transparent, and competitive – a huge step after thirteen years of negotiations. But is that enough to tackle Montenegro’s mountain of challenges? Judges are under pressure, the judiciary is overloaded, and protests in the north keep flaring up. Meanwhile, the government boasts about closing the toughest negotiation chapters, but citizens still feel the weight of injustice and uncertainty. Is this real progress or just a show for Brussels? Montenegro stands at a crossroads – between European dreams and stubborn domestic problems. What do you think? Is this reform just a shiny facade or the real deal? Drop a comment and let’s hear what you really think!
