Montenegro’s Reform Agenda (RA) 2024–2027 is designed to accelerate the country’s economic convergence with the European Union and advance its EU integration process. Developed through close collaboration between the Montenegrin government and the European Commission, the agenda prioritises reforms in four key areas: 1. private sector development and business environment; 2. digital and energy transitions; 3. human capital; and 4. the rule of law. These reforms are essential for aligning Montenegro’s policies with EU standards and unlocking EUR 385.5 million in financial support, including EUR 110 million in grants and EUR 275.5 million in favourable loans.
The agenda’s development process, spanning December 2023 to October 2024, addresses key policy areas and governance mechanisms. It aims to provide an overview of the process and highlight early shortcomings in transparency and participation.
