Montenegro and the EU: Closing Chapter 5 as a Symbol of a Huge Leap Forward!
Montenegro has just made a massive step on its European path – it has closed one of the toughest chapters in negotiations with the EU, Chapter 5! Prime Minister Milojko Spajić is proudly declaring that he is not afraid to tackle the biggest challenges head-on.
On social media platform X, Spajić symbolically presented Montenegro’s part of the scoreboard, announcing a “green wave” of new results leading Montenegro towards the European Union. EU Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos congratulated Montenegro and emphasized that closing Chapter 5 is another important step forward.
Why is this important? Chapter 5 concerns public procurement and the fight against corruption – two key issues that have held Montenegro back for years. The EU now offers full support to Montenegro in strengthening mechanisms for free competition and equal treatment of all market participants.
Prime Minister Spajić is optimistic: “Everything is going according to plan, we will close every chapter by the end of the year.” This sends a message that Montenegro is not giving up but boldly moving towards EU membership.
Of course, the path is not easy. Challenges abound, from internal political tensions to external pressures. But this success shows that Montenegro is not afraid to face them.
Meanwhile, the EU has given the green light to Bulgaria for euro adoption, and Montenegro signed an air traffic agreement with Saudi Arabia – signs that the region is slowly but surely moving forward.
Is this the beginning of the end of long-standing stagnation? Will Montenegro finally manage to tackle corruption and ensure a fair market? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear – Spajić and his government do not plan to stop.
And you? Do you believe in this “green wave” or think it’s just another political show? Drop a comment, let the people’s voice be heard!
EU and Montenegro: The Fight for a Fair Market and Transparency
Chapter 5 is not just a number in negotiations – it’s a fight for transparency and justice. The EU has made it clear that without fighting corruption, there is no membership.
Montenegro has struggled for years with corruption and unfair public procurement, which hindered development and citizens’ trust. Closing this chapter shows that Montenegro is ready to change and adopt European standards.
Commissioner Marta Kos highlighted that the EU provides full support to Montenegro in this process, signaling Brussels’ serious attention to progress.
This is an opportunity for Montenegro to show it can be a role model for others in the region. But will political will withstand the pressures?
What’s Next?
Prime Minister Spajić is optimistic, but reality is often harsh. Closing Chapter 5 is a big success, but Montenegro still has a lot of work ahead.
The plan is to close all chapters by the end of the year, which sounds like a dream. But if the pace and determination continue, maybe it’s not impossible.
In any case, this is a moment for celebration but also caution. Europe and the world are watching, and Montenegro must prove it is ready for big things.
While we wait for more news, remember – politics is a game of power but also a chance for change. And you? What’s your take on this European path?
Bonus: A Little Joke to End With
If Spajić closes all chapters by the end of the year, will we get an EU passport for New Year’s? Or will there be another chapter – “How to Survive Political Turbulence”?
Either way, fingers crossed and stay tuned. And if you have a good EU negotiation joke, share it – laughter is half the health, and politics is often just a circus without clowns!
