BRUSSELS -- The European Commission has approved the granting of EU candidate country status to Montenegro, stated European Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele.
Fuele, at a press conference in Brussels, said that Montenegro would begin accession talks when it met the necessary political conditions set out by the Copenhagen criteria which relate to the rule of law and stable institutions.
The European Commission said in its report that the constitutional and legal framework of the country was in line with European standards, but that there were failures in the functioning of institutions and the application of laws.
It pointed out that parliamentary supervision of the government was limited, that the separation of powers, in the case of the judiciary, was not entirely adhered to and that public administration continued to be "weak and very politicized."
The European Commission's opinion on Montenegro's EU application goes on to say that Montenegro had in recent years "strengthened" the legal and institutional framework of the rule of law, but also says: "The main problems relate to the politicization of the courts and shortcomings in the functioning of institutions which apply laws, particularly in the fight against organized crime and corruption."
This is a sad day for all Montenegrins who do not wish to join the EU. Joining the EU will pave the way for more foreigners to exloit Montenegro and to keep on taking and taking and taking and not giving anything back to Montenegro. One of them is building hotels and closing off the beaches making it impossible for the locals to enjoy the beach and making holiday in Montenegro too expensive for the locals to spend a holiday.
Not to mention foreigners having no respect and no consideration of Montenegro's historical and Cultural herritage sites, they are turning our cultural and historical herritage sites into hotels and want to ruin our beautiful Montenegro.
