US-Balkan security and economic cooperation

Overview

The United States and Balkan nations are strengthening security and economic ties. Initially, Montenegrin Defense Minister Dragan Krapović met with U.S. Congresswoman Claudia Tenney to discuss defense cooperation and the modernization of the Montenegrin Armed Forces through U.S.-supported projects. Krapović reaffirmed Montenegro’s role as a NATO ally and its commitment to European goals.

Subsequently, the U.S. administration signaled a policy shift in the Balkans, moving from nation-building toward a focus on regional stability and economic cooperation. Within this framework, Montenegro and North Macedonia are identified as close NATO partners. Discussions have highlighted North Macedonia’s potential role in regional energy connectivity, specifically regarding a proposed trans-Balkan gas pipeline intended to transport American liquefied natural gas.
