🔹In Search of Lost Regional Solidarity - or, Who’s Afraid of Montenegro in the EU?

"Montenegro’s progress is not a threat to its neighbors;
it's a test of whether the idea of a common EU future for the Western Balkans still holds".

From judicial reforms to full alignment with the EU’s values, #Montenegro must demonstrate "tangible results and a steadfast commitment" if it hopes to realise its goal of becoming the 28th member state by 2028, said @jomarovic.bsky.social (@biepag.bsky.social‬)

Who can make it to the club in next 5 years: one or none?

In a new blog for @biepag.bsky.social, I address possible enlargement scenarios.

As a citizen of Montenegro I will conclude by estimating that there is a 50-50 chance of the first or last scenario happening.

📢BiEPAG stands with the students in #Serbia fighting for justice, equality, and democracy.

Student voices matter, and their courage inspires us all.

A bold call to #EU institutions: take action now!

Montenegro is fully aligned with CFSP and, at the same time, Russia has been in 2nd place in terms of FDI for the last 3 years, after Serbia. Golden passports are issued to Russians without problems. Sanctions have almost no effect on removing Russian influence from #WB as the region is not in #EU
Europe delivers: EU Foreign Ministers just agreed to extend again the sanctions on Russia.

This will continue to deprive Moscow of revenues to finance its war.

Russia needs to pay for the damage they are causing.

#protests in #Montenegro are organized by an informal group of students and joined by a large number of citizens. Attempts to politicize, marginalize and make them meaningless are unsuccessful. #responsibility for the Cetinje massacre and police reform are among the key demands.
