Is Montenegro a country of the European Union?

Montenegro is not a member of the European Union (EU) as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021. However, Montenegro has been a candidate for EU membership since 2010 and has been taking steps to meet the necessary requirements for accession.

The EU accession process involves various negotiations and reforms that a candidate country must undertake before becoming a member. The timeline for Montenegro’s potential EU membership is subject to progress in meeting the criteria and negotiations with the EU. It’s advisable to refer to the latest official sources or news updates for the most recent information on Montenegro’s EU membership status.
