Montenegro sees growing support for phased integration of future EU members

The concept of a phased integration process for prospective EU members is gaining traction in Montenegro. Proponents suggest admitting new members in stages rather than all at once. Supporters argue the approach could ease accession challenges. Critics warn it might create a two‑tier European Union. Discussions are ongoing among Montenegrin policymakers. The idea reflects broader debates on EU enlargement strategy. No official policy has been adopted yet. Observers will watch how Montenegro’s stance influences EU talks.
