Montenegro’s President Jakov Milatović isn’t just waving the EU flag for show — he’s calling it a compass pointing straight to the future! While the EU celebrates 40 years of its iconic flag, Montenegro is strutting its stuff as a hopeful future member, embracing the values the flag stands for: peace, democracy, human rights, rule of law, and regional cooperation.
But hold your applause — Montenegro’s reality check is harsh. Tourists from the Middle East are ghosting the country, Israeli bookings are getting canceled left and right, and political tensions are simmering under the surface. Meanwhile, the European Alliance is doubling down, setting up a coordination board in Bijelo Polje, calling it the last bastion of modern, civic Montenegro, ready to fight for progressive policies.
Is Montenegro really ready for the EU? Is the EU flag just a pretty picture or the real deal for a better future? Milatović and the European Alliance say yes, but the public remains skeptical. As political games drag on, the big question is: how will Montenegro overcome its internal mess and truly join the European family?
Think this is just another political fairy tale? Think again. The EU flag might be a symbol, but for Montenegro, it’s hope, a goal, and a challenge all rolled into one. So, what do you think? Is Montenegro ready for the EU, or is this just a bedtime story? Drop your thoughts below — let’s get the conversation rolling!
