Europese Commissie keurt Montenegro Lente Rapport goed (en)

The European Commission adopted a report on Montenegro's progress in the implementation of reforms on 22 May, with a view to opening accession negotiations with the country in June 2012. The report concludes that Montenegro has made further progress in the areas of rule of law and fundamental rights, including in the fight against corruption and organised crime. In this light and taking into account the Council conclusions of December 2011, the Commission reiterates its recommendation that accession negotiations with Montenegro be opened in June.
