The European Council's conclusions on enlargement, adopted by EU leaders at a summit in Brussels, do not specify a timeframe for completing Montenegro's accession negotiations. This omission was reportedly due to the initiative of Croatia's Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, who raised eight unresolved bilateral issues between Croatia and Montenegro during the meeting. These issues include compensation for former war prisoners, disputes over the ownership of the ship Jadran, the delineation of maritime borders, changes to the name of the Bay of Kotor, and property rights of several Croatian families in Montenegro. The European Council's final conclusions differ from their draft, which had mentioned a deadline for closing all chapters of the accession talks by the end of the year, conditional on Montenegro implementing necessary reforms. Montenegro has already closed 21 out of 33 negotiation chapters and aims to complete them by the end of 2024 to become an EU member by 2028.
