Ue, 'Montenegro pronto a firma adesione in 2027, decoupling Ucraina-Moldavia'

The EU and Montenegro aim for the signing of the accession treaty by 2027, with Montenegro expected to join by 2028. Podgorica plans to finalize all negotiation chapters by 2026. This is a key update from the Enlargement package presented by the Commission. There is an increasing possibility of decoupling between Ukraine and Moldova among candidate countries. The report indicates that negotiations for Ukraine are expected to conclude by the end of 2028, while for Chisinau, this is anticipated for early 2028. Ursula von der Leyen emphasizes the gradual construction of a stronger and more complete Union.
