The Perspective of Montenegro’s Accession to the European Union: Implementation of the New Enlargement Methodology

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to present the current position of the candidate countries in the process of European integration, with an emphasis on Montenegro, by presenting the conditions and criteria imposed by the EU. Therefore, through content analysis, this paper will present aspects of the EU enlargement policy towards the Western Balkans. Also, this paper examines the benefits and challenges of the new enlargement methodology, which was adopted by the European Commission in early 2020. The focus of this research paper is on Montenegro, attempting to answer the question of why pre-accession negotiations have been going on for almost a decade, with only three temporarily closed chapters of 33. Finally, this paper presents the obstacles that Montenegro needs to overcome to intensify its European path. Furthermore, the final assessments in the form of a synthesis are dedicated to the perspective of Montenegro’s accession to the EU in light of the new enlargement methodology.
