Montenegro began accession negotiations with the Union in 2012. It has since opened all negotiating chapters, and has already provisionally closed some of them. To fully complete the process, however, it still has to fulfil the remaining conditions and obtain the consent of the member states.
If all the chapters can be closed by the end of the year, Montenegro could make significant progress toward signing the accession treaty. Actual membership, however, will require the completion of ratification processes in all member states as well as in Montenegro.
The European Commission has described the country as the most advanced among the membership candidates. Further developments will depend on the fulfilment of the remaining requirements and on the political decision of the member states.
