"The European Council has tasked the Council with examining Montenegro’s progress on the basis of a Commission report. Political consensus on EU-related matters remains high in the country. The goal of making progress towards membership of the EU and NATO is a cornerstone of its foreign policy. I firmly believe that reform efforts require a strong political will and an overriding commitment to facing upcoming challenges in the accession process. Significant progress has been achieved by Montenegro in meeting the seven key priorities identified by the Commission in 2010; specifically, improvements in the work of Parliament and the electoral framework, the professionalism of the public administration, the independence of the judiciary, combating corruption, combating organised crime, ensuring media freedom, and strengthening cooperation with civil society. The country has seen a modest economic recovery, along with low inflation and a significant inflow of foreign direct investment, as well as a slight decrease in the unemployment rate, and it has also implemented the trade-related provisions of the stabilisation and association agreement with the EU. However, it needs to pursue further reform efforts in efficiently implementing the government’s action plan on the key priorities and in accelerating the recovery from the economic crisis whilst simultaneously ensuring proper control of public spending and foreign debt. Montenegro also needs to maintain fiscal stability and to strengthen and build up the administrative and institutional capacities necessary to assume future obligations arising from EU membership."@en1
