Larger, stronger, and united Europe is in everyone’s interest. 🇦🇱 🇲🇩 🇲🇪 🇲🇰 🇷🇸 🇹🇷 🇺🇦 🇧🇦 🇽🇰 🇬🇪 Enlargement means more stability, more opportunities, and a stronger EU on the global stage.

EU enlargement is not a 'nice to have'. It is a necessity if we want to be a stronger player on the world stage. My press remarks on the 2025 enlargement package with @MartaKosEU ↓

2025 was a year of significant progress for EU enlargement. Montenegro, Albania, Ukraine and Moldova stand out. They advanced most on reforms in the past year. Our candidates have ambitious goals to finish negotiations. The coming year will be a moment of truth.

Happy to see the 2025 Enlargement Package being adopted today, which assesses the state of play and the progress made towards EU accession. 🇪🇺 #EUEnlargement remains a driver of stability, prosperity and unity across our continent. More info here: https://t.co/yFbJbN2BOz

Opening of @EIB office in #Podgorica symbolises our strengthened commitment to 🇲🇪 and its 🇪🇺 aspirations. Together, as #TeamEurope, we stand ready to invest in infrastructure, help 🇲🇪 diversify its economy & implement reforms.

Izvještaj @EU_Commission potvrđuje da je 🇲🇪 predvodnica u procesu proširenja 🇪🇺— na dobrom putu da do kraja 2026 godine završi pristupne pregovore. Trenutak za ponos, ali ne i za opuštanje: ostanite fokusirani i ujedinjeni u reformama. 🇪🇺🇲🇪

The prosecution service must be independent, autonomous & accountable, enabling the fight against organised crime and high-level corruption to continue with even greater intensity. 🇪🇺 integration & 🇲🇪 prosperity depend on results in the rule of law. Happy Prosecutors’ Day!

Peta akcija čišćenja u okviru kampanje „Čuvaj da te čuva“! 🍃 Danas u Nikšiću, na lokaciji Gračanica, zajedno sa @DamjanCulafic, @OpstinaNiksic, @Ozelenimo_me, Ecopatriotizam & lokalnim službama još jednom dokazujemo da 🇲🇪 ima volju i snagu da očuva svoju prirodu. 🇪🇺

Dok se Nikšić sprema da zasija kao Evropska prijestonica kulture 2030, obilježavamo to sadnjom 41 lipe — poklonom EU zajednici čiji duh otpornosti i kulture oslikava evropske vrijednosti. 🌿🇪🇺 Lijepo je vidjeti zajedništvo svih odbornika, vlasti i opozicije!

Glad to open today’s conference on strengthening 🇲🇪 response to domestic & gender-based violence, with Chief Prosecutor Marković, @CZP_Cg, and @HrebickovaJanin 🇨🇿. The EU continues to support Montenegro in ensuring effective protection and access to justice for all victims. 🇪🇺🇲🇪

Last week’s investment conferences in 🇦🇱 Tirana and 🇲🇪 Luštica gathered EU and Western Balkan leaders, businesses and investors to forge new partnerships. 🤝 In Tirana, seven declarations unlocked over €4 billion in projects, from digital links and AI infrastructure to green

Congratulations to 🇲🇪Nikšić, set to become European Capital of Culture 2030! With its “open city” theme, Nikšić shows how culture can unite communities and inspire change. A great example of how the EU supports creativity and connection across Europe.

A great day for Montenegro: Nikšić has been selected the EU Capital of Culture 2030! 🇪🇺🇲🇪 Ovaj uspjeh predstavlja važnu prekretnicu ne samo za grad, već i za cijelu Crnu Goru, ističući njen sve veći značaj u evropskom kulturnom prostoru.

Important visit by Commissioner @EZaharievaEU to #Montenegro! Together with Ministers from the Western Balkans, we’re advancing the region’s integration into the 🇪🇺 research & innovation ecosystem — boosting startups, science and smart growth across the region.

Happy to open Western Balkans Ministerial Meeting on Research & Innovation in #Podgorica 🇲🇪 and award the most innovative projects! 💡 From agri-tech to health & marine breakthroughs, the region proves its contribution to Europe’s scientific excellence . @EUScienceInnov 🇪🇺

At yesterday's investment conference in Tivat, 🇲🇪 and 🇪🇺 investors launched 14 major projects, from floating solar to 🇲🇪's first innovation campus. As #Montenegro diversifies into clean energy & tech and sustainable tourism, EU support is helping unlock 🇲🇪's full potential.

Honoured to join President @vonderleyen yesterday in #Montenegro 🇲🇪 is showing real momentum on its 🇪🇺 path. The key now is to stay focused & united. The €8 million announced today for 🇲🇪 under the Reform & Growth Facility shows that enlargement brings real, tangible benefits.

Together with the @VladaCG, @EBRD, and @MFIC_offical, we signed in #Tivat tonight the Sustainable Investment Declaration, a shared pledge to boost transparency, innovation & green growth. 🌿 But even important - tomorrow the implementation phase needs to start! 🇪🇺🇲🇪

You have made it happen! Montenegro has joined Europe’s Single Payment Area. Since last week, transfers of money between 🇲🇪 🇲🇰 🇦🇱 and the EU are safer. And much, much cheaper. We're getting closer together ↓

Great start of the EU-Montenegro Investment Conference with @EU_Commission President @vonderleyen, highlighting 🇲🇪's potential for green and sustainable investments and marking the launch of 14 new 🇪🇺- 🇲🇪 MoU & business partnerships.
