According to Serbian Economist, the next EU-Western Balkans summit is planned to be held in Montenegro on June 5, 2026, Montenegrin media reported, citing sources close to the country’s president’s office.
European Council President António Costa also said he expects the next meeting to take place in Montenegro in June 2026.
According to the Council of the EU, the EU-Western Balkans summits are attended by leaders of EU countries and EU institutions, as well as leaders of six partners in the region: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia.
Commenting on the plans for 2026, Montenegrin President Jakov Milatović said that there are “high expectations” for the meeting in Montenegro in Brussels and that “it should be a summit of results,” first and foremost for Montenegro itself.
By that date, the European Union intends to begin work on an agreement on Montenegro’s accession to the EU.
Regular EU-Western Balkans summits have been held since 2018; the previous summit took place in Brussels in December 2024.
