Montenegro is currently considering a proposal to cede the 'Jadran' training ship to Croatia as part of a broader interstate compromise, aimed at securing clearly defined political benefits and advancing the country's European Union accession. This development comes as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz downplayed related issues, stating that Montenegro has met almost all conditions for EU membership, with remaining concerns primarily involving Croatia.
On the economic front, Montenegro is experiencing record inflation, marking a significant increase in prices over the past two and a half years. In response to energy costs, authorities are also preparing to ban subsidies for pellets, a move that could impact consumers.
