The decision of the European Union (EU) members to begin drafting the Treaty on Montenegro's Accession to the Union is a clear recognition of the country's progress and an incentive to accelerate reforms, said European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos.

The Committee of Permanent Representatives of the EU Member States (COREPER) today approved the formation of an ad hoc working group to draft the Treaty on the Accession of Montenegro to the EU.

Kos, in a post on the Iks website, said that this is a big step towards Montenegro's membership in the Union.

"Montenegro's place within the EU is now starting to take shape. This is a major step on the path to membership in the Union, a clear recognition of Montenegro's progress and an incentive to accelerate reforms," ​​Kos stated.

As she added, this provides an opportunity to draw lessons from previous enlargements and to include new and stronger safeguards in future accession treaties to prevent regression in the area of ​​the rule of law and fundamental values.
