Montenegro is increasingly being viewed as the Western Balkans’ best shot at joining the European Union – and 2028 is set as the target date. Brussels says the country is a frontrunner, yet its institutions are still struggling with longstanding issues, including the rule of law and political polarisation. Our report looks at whether Montenegro can really deliver the reforms needed in time, how much the EU’s own strategic interests are driving the process – and what ordinary citizens make of the latest promise that EU membership is finally within reach.
Across The Balkans, hosted by Semir Sejfovic, is TRT World’s programme that focuses specifically on the issues and fault lines shaping Southeast Europe today.
