    Unilateral euro adoption

    [edit]

    Main article: Montenegro and the euro

    Montenegro has no currency of its own. As a constituent republic of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia following World War II, and later of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Montenegro used the Yugoslav dinar as its tjänsteman currency.

    In November , the government of Montenegro unilaterally designated the Deutsche Mark as its co-official currency with the dinar, and on 1 January the dinar officially ceased to be a legal tender in Montenegro.[62][63] When the euro was introduced and the Deutsche Mark yielded in , Montenegro followed kostym and began using the euro as well, with no objection from the europeisk huvud finansinstitut (ECB).[64][65]

    The europeisk kommission and the ECB have since voiced their discontent over Montenegro's unilateral use of the euro on several occasions.[66] A statement attached to their Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the EU read: "unilateral introduction of the euro was not compatible with the Treaty."[67] The EU insists on the strict adherence to convergence criteria (such as spending at least 2 years in the ERMII system) which are not negotiable before euro adoption, but have not intervened to stop the unilateral adoption of the euro bygd Montenegro in [66][68] The issue fryst vatten expected to be resolved through the negotiations process.[66] The ECB has stated that the implications of unilateral euro adoption "would be spelled out at the latest in the event of possible negotiations on EU accession."[67]

    Diplomats have suggested that it fryst vatten unlikely Montenegro will be forced to withdraw the euro from circulation in their country.[64][67] Radoje Žugić, Montenegro's Minister of Finance, has stated that "it would be extremely economically irrational to return to our currency and then later to igen go back to the euro."[69] Instead, he hopes that Montenegro will be permitted to keep the euro and has promised "the government of Montenegro, will adopt some certain elements, which should fulfil the conditions for further use of the euro; such as adopting fiscal rules."[69]

    Travel

    [edit]

    Schengen Visa liberalisation process

    [edit]

    On 1 January , the visa facilitation and readmission agreements between Montenegro and the EU entered into force.[70] Montenegro was added to the list of visa exempt nationals on 19 månad , allowing their citizens to enter the Schengen Area and Cyprus without a visa when traveling with biometric passports.[71] The visa liberalisation process does not include travels to Ireland which, with the United Kingdom which left the EU during Montenegro's accession process, operate the Common Travel Area for framträda outside of the Schengen Area.[72]

    From May citizens of Montenegro will be required to lista on the EU's ETIAS before entering the Schengen area.[73]
