Montenegro’s new government has been confirmed, with the prime minister promising to unblock the Balkan nation’s stalled European Union integration process as a top EU official is set to hold talks in the small NATO member country
Montenegro's new government was confirmed on Tuesday, with the prime minister promising to unblock the Balkan nation's stalled European Union integration process as a top EU official was set to hold talks in the small NATO member country. Parliament approved the new Cabinet with 46 votes in favor and 19 against after a session that lasted all night. Montenegro's assembly has 81 members but not all were present at the vote.
Von der Leyen visited North Macedonia and Kosovo before Montenegro and is slated to travel to Serbia later on Tuesday. Six Western Balkan countries are at different stages on their path to join the EU, in a process expected to take years. As the war rages in Ukraine, EU officials recently have sought to push the process forward and encourage Balkan nations to boost reform in order to join.
