Montenegro is a candidate for EU membership, with accession negotiations having begun in 2012. The country plans to introduce visas for Russian citizens by autumn 2026 as part of its preparation for joining the European Union, although Russians can still enter without a visa for up to 30 days. In June 2026, Montenegro was confirmed as a priority candidate during an EU summit with Western Balkan nations.
