The parliament adopted 201 laws in 2025, which is twice the average in the last ten years, said Boris Pejović, Secretary General of the Europe Now Movement and Deputy Speaker of Parliament.
"More than 120 laws were directly related to the EU agenda, and the result of such a legislative pace is the closure of numerous negotiation chapters, of which six negotiation chapters were formally closed in the past year alone," the statement reads.
Data from parliamentary reports, he said, indicate that this is the most intense legislative cycle in the modern history of the Parliament.
"By reviewing the annual reports on the work of the Parliament of Montenegro for the last ten years, it can be concluded that legislative activity in that period ranged within a significantly narrower range than during 2025. The total number of adopted laws varied from 46 in 2020, as the weakest result in the observed period, to 134 laws in 2017, which has so far been considered the most productive year in legislative terms. In this context, the data for 2025 confirm that this is twice the volume of legislative work compared to the ten-year average," adds Pejović.
Of particular importance, as he said, is the fact that more than 120 adopted laws are directly related to the EU agenda, that is, to the harmonization of Montenegrin legislation with the acquis communautaire.
"That this is a planned and continuous process is confirmed by the fact that the Parliament has an even more intense year ahead of it. An extraordinary session of the Parliament will be organized on February 2nd, with the aim of adopting a new set of laws from the EU agenda, i.e. laws harmonized with the acquis communautaire. All of the above indicates that 2025 can be seen as one of the most intense years in the legislative work of the Parliament of Montenegro, but also as a period in which the European integration process achieved clear and measurable results through concrete parliamentary decisions," the statement reads.
