Brussels \u2013 \u201cThe package we have adopted today reflects both the European Union\u2019s fulfilment of its commitments and the work carried out by Montenegro.\u201d This was announced today (30 June) by the European Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos<\/strong>, after the Commission adopted the financial package setting out the budgetary arrangements for Montenegro<\/a><\/span> <\/a>during its EU accession process. The proposal \u201cwill make the transition from candidate country to Member State as smooth as possible,\u201d explained Kos, and will \u201censure continuity from day one.\u201d The Financial and Budgetary Provisions<\/strong> package forms part of Chapter 33 of Montenegro\u2019s accession negotiations and aims to provide \u201ca clear overview of the expected financial implications of Montenegro\u2019s accession to the EU.\u201d <\/p>\n

The document aims to ensure Montenegro<\/a>\u2019s full participation in EU policies and the EU budget, both as a beneficiary and as a contributor<\/strong>. The aim is to \u201cprevent any disruption to funding,\u201d as well as to \u201cminimise unnecessary administrative burdens.\u201d The Commission has therefore set out \u201ca clear path on the same terms and with the same level of ambition as for other Member States,\u201d with a view to \u201caccelerating economic convergence, supporting sustainable growth, and further boosting integration into the EU single market, to the benefit of both Montenegro and the other Member States.\u201d Thus, on the one hand, Montenegrin citizens, businesses, and institutions will be able to benefit \u201cfrom greater investment, stronger public institutions and deeper integration,\u201d while on the other hand, enlargement \u201cwill contribute to Europe\u2019s stability, connectivity, and competitiveness.\u201d <\/p>\n

According to the Commission\u2019s proposal for the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), the EU\u2019s long-term budget, \u201csupport for Member States is set to be delivered through results-based plans, covering areas such as regional development, agriculture, social policy and home affairs, with disbursements linked to the fulfilment of agreed steps.” Consequently, a \u201cstructured transition from pre-accession assistance to support under the EU\u2019s internal funds\u201d is envisaged for Montenegro. The aim is \u201cto ensure continuity, strengthen the delivery of funds, and ensure that EU funding is firmly focused on results.\u201d <\/p>\n

Today\u2019s proposal is the subject of negotiations between the EU and Montenegro and has been submitted by the Commission to the Council of the EU. Accession negotiations with Montenegro began on 29 June 2012 and, although the 33 accession negotiation chapters <\/a>have all been opened, 16 have been provisionally closed. In May 2026, an ad hoc Council working group was set up to draft the Accession Treaty with Montenegro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
