Montenegro political and public health developments

Overview

Montenegro is navigating significant developments in both political integration and public health. Regarding European Union accession, the European Commission is preparing an agreement that could lead to Montenegro becoming the 28th EU member by 2028. In tandem with this process, the Montenegrin Parliament has adopted the Law on the Implementation of the EU Digital Services Act to regulate digital service providers and protect citizens online.

On the public health front, data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer indicates that Montenegro has the highest breast cancer mortality rate in Europe. Medical experts, including Dr. Nikola Milašević, have identified late-stage diagnoses as a primary driver of these rates. Challenges to reducing mortality include difficulties in scheduling mammography and ultrasound appointments, as well as a tendency for patients to skip preventive exams when symptoms are absent.
