This resolution expresses U.S. support for Montenegro's admission to the European Union. Montenegro, which became an independent nation in 2006 and joined NATO in 2017, has been working toward EU membership since formally applying in 2008, with accession negotiations beginning in 2012. The resolution recognizes that Montenegro has made significant progress on EU requirements, including completing opening benchmarks for two major chapters in 2024, and notes that over 79 percent of Montenegrin citizens support EU membership. The resolution calls on the President and Secretary of State to advocate for Montenegro's EU accession without additional bilateral conditions and to support broader Euro-Atlantic integration of the Western Balkans region. No funding or specific timeline for implementation is specified in the resolution, which serves as a statement of congressional support rather than an appropriations measure.
