Montenegro has adopted constitutional changes designed to strengthen integrity checks for ministers, marking progress toward meeting requirements for European Union membership. The amendments aim to increase transparency and accountability within the government, a key demand from Brussels. This move signifies a commitment from Podgorica to align its governance standards with those of the EU. The constitutional changes focus on bolstering the vetting processes for high-level officials before appointment. Experts believe this is a significant step in combating corruption and strengthening the rule of law within Montenegro. Further reforms are expected as Montenegro continues its path toward EU accession. The adoption of these changes demonstrates a proactive approach by the Montenegrin government.
