• What challenges might arise?

One of the Montenegrin participants expressed the following:

“Montenegrins would be able to live, study, and travel freely within the EU. Easier access to EU universities and programs like Erasmus+. EU funds help finance roads, railways, energy systems, and digital infrastructure. Support for rural development, tourism, and environmental projects. Modernization of public services like healthcare and education.”
