Montenegro made significant strides in its European Union accession process today by formally closing two additional negotiation chapters. Prime Minister Milojko Spajić is leading a government delegation in Brussels for an intergovernmental conference related to this progress. The European Commission has reportedly given high marks for the remaining chapters, with officials noting that Montenegro's EU membership would send a strong signal to the Western Balkan region.
In domestic political news, President Jakov Milatović and Prime Minister Milojko Spajić met again, indicating ongoing dialogue between the country's top leaders. Meanwhile, in an update on the long-running Telekom corruption probe, Veselin Barović has denied any involvement in the sale of Telekom shares.
Separately, the Montenegrin government approved a proposal addressing rising costs, deficits, and debt, while a peculiar incident saw a patient from a psychiatric hospital reportedly travel to Russia to fight in Ukraine, prompting an arrest warrant.
