Today the European Commission adopted a financial package outlining the budgetary arrangements that would apply to Montenegro upon accession to the EU. The package maps Montenegro’s transition from pre‑accession support to EU internal funds, details proportionate increases across relevant budget headings, and specifies additional expenditure. It estimates €3.2 billion in financial allocations for Montenegro and requires the country to contribute to the EU budget on the same basis as other Member States. The proposal follows the Member States’ agreement to draft the Accession Treaty and supports progress towards closure of negotiations under Chapter 33. While accession would only occur after all conditions are met and the treaty is ratified, the package provides a single plan that remains applicable whether Montenegro joins before or after 1 January 2028.
